Hi guys. On this video we'll be looking at the white cloud mountain minnow fry. And also having a close up look at some micro live foods. Join me for part 2
Buddy don't apologize for the length of time....the more info you share is the more valuable and useful the video. I love that you take the time to explain and to show us viewers exactly what you're talking about; we don't have to guess!! Looking forward to Sunday's video :)
I picked up a handful of white clouds in the beginning of the summer and put them in my new little patio pond. Well within a day or so I had quite a school of fry ! They have been breeding out there all summer along with a few guppies endlers and Platys. I bought some of them inside so I could enjoy their reflective colors better. They aren’t much too observe from the top down in way of coloration, but they are happy active little fish. I must say I am quite happy that I decided to give them a try! I have a few small groups inside and enjoy watching them dart around. They get on well with my Platys and fill in the areas of the tank that the Platys don’t really swim in. Thanks for the videos as always! I recommend anyone to give them a try. They are very rewarding ! 😊
You are an inspiration for many... watching your videos made me breed fishes... I have bred angels.. danios .. and now white cloud minnows... all thanks to you
Great content on this channel big fan. I've had no success breeding minnows in a heavily planted tank with their parents, they always eat em. However I cycled a new planted tank intended for some shrimp recently, after a 5 weeks there were lots of nematodes about. I transferred three minnows, two females and one male, into the tank in an attempt to reduce the number of worms. After four days I took them back out and put them back to their home. Went to do a water change the next day only to be greeted by tons of fry. There's approx 60 fry now after a week all as happy as larry. A very happy accident indeed and a great excuse to buy another tank 😂.
Just an update for anyone interested. I moved the fry to a bigger tank today, 97 of them in total, from one male and two females. I had no idea there were so many. There are one or two 'runts' but they seem to be doing OK if a little behind in size. Raising thems so rewarding I'd recommend it. Thank you Mark you're a legend.
Loving these videos. I’m definitely trying some of the species from your videos. Any experience or videos coming on breeding cory’s? Popping into Cardiff in the morning to collect a new Cory species.
Ooooh im soooo jealous! I want to try this sooo badly but won't have time until winter 😕 Absolutely Love this series you're doing and very grateful for your tutorials! Thank you
Do you keep them in a community tank when they are not breeding because my danios keep nipping at my minnows and I'm worried they will stress my minnows out eventually
Mark you do not want to get your contact lens mix up with your water droplets because if you get them mixed up when you put them in you will think we have been invaded my aliens.....very interesting vid thanks
New Subcriber here excellent video very informative. I currently have some white cloud Mountain minnows that are heavily pregnant and ready to spawn, your video was very helpful 👍🏿👍🏿 in regards to getting a tank set up for spawning 👍🏿
I have 6 (4 females 2 males) 24kt Gold White Clouds in a 110gal stock tank with some Endlers. The Endlers are breeding like crazy but I've not yet seen a single white cloud fry. They are spawning every day but no fry. Is it possible that the Endlers are eating every single fry?
MARK'S AQUATICS thank you for the help. I figured that's what was going on but still find it hard to believe that not one single fry has made it in the whole 110gal tub. Especially with all the moss and wood they have for cover.
Hi Mark, with the Artemia when you are trying to grow them do you have to have the water moving (by air) don't have a spare air pump at the moment. Thanks for the fantastic videos again
I feel like breeding white clouds and get a big big school going, but every video I see they behave differently....do you feel they directionally school more, or they just hang out together like guppies? maybe is something to do with number or water flow?
hi mark,just want to say i am absolutely loving these breeding programmes,i have learnt so much...one question,not linked to breeding,just want to know your thoughts.can i put my heaters in a sump,just to keep them hidden??..
Hi Mark top notch mate!. I have just put Astro Turf into the bottom of my 20 gallon tank with a few stones in the corners, hoping to breed white mountain Minnows. Following your video tips fingers crossed..Do you know anything about breeding Apple Snails
I have one male and 3 females of white clouds, just purchased some java moss hoping they lay eggs and we get some fry I heard the fry can feed off the micro organisms of the java moss?
Which fish you find to be easier to try breeding, that schools directionally? I am in Paris, FR; my water is 7/7,5; hard water, moderately alkaline. Basing on your videos I thought about black neons, but I'm not sure, what you think?
Ι see you bred normal White clouds with golden ones. I have 4 regular males atm but I can't find any more locally. I saw some nice gold females at my pet store, is it a good idea to cross breed them? I saw both videos 2 times sorry if you talked about it and I missed it.

Cheers Michael . And thanks for watching 👍😀
No doubt , he is one of my favourites, I'm glued to his every word , LOL !!!! He's very good !
Yup I agree... great content mate, the more information we can get the better...
This content is priceless for me, I want to breed my white clouds and don't currently have any live foods. Thank you so much!
I spawned mine a few weeks ago, I only got 4 frys but I'm really happy for them and they have such good color from being outside in the pond.
Thanks for watching Mike 👍😀

my white cloud on a pond setup bred on its own.
New Subcriber here excellent video very informative. I currently have some white cloud Mountain minnows that are heavily pregnant and ready to spawn, your video was very helpful 👍🏿👍🏿 in regards to getting a tank set up for spawning 👍🏿
Niiiice hatcher!😳🦐⭐💪
Looking good. It's too bad they didn't lay more eggs but at least you got a good amount though. Can't wait to see more videos.
thanks for watching Sean 👍😀
Great video mark 👍😀
Thanks for watching Ryan 👍😀
Hi from Turkey
Thanks for your videos
How many days old are they in this video?
I have 6 (4 females 2 males) 24kt Gold White Clouds in a 110gal stock tank with some Endlers. The Endlers are breeding like crazy but I've not yet seen a single white cloud fry. They are spawning every day but no fry. Is it possible that the Endlers are eating every single fry?
Hi. Yes the Endlers will eat all the eggs. You need to spawn them in their own tank and then remove the parents ok.
MARK'S AQUATICS thank you for the help. I figured that's what was going on but still find it hard to believe that not one single fry has made it in the whole 110gal tub. Especially with all the moss and wood they have for cover.
Mark can you show us how you are doing water changes with such small fry in the tank
No problem .Thanks for watching 👍😀
Nice! Thanks! :)
I just got first born fry.. but not sure what to feed them. they are super super tiny. Smaller than mosquito larva
How long should I leave the parents in the tank? Can I do three or four days in the tank before removing the parents to try and get more eggs
Hi Mark, with the Artemia when you are trying to grow them do you have to have the water moving (by air) don't have a spare air pump at the moment. Thanks for the fantastic videos again
yes its best to keep the water moving .
Do you need infusoria if you have vinegar eels?
I feel like breeding white clouds and get a big big school going, but every video I see they behave differently....do you feel they directionally school more, or they just hang out together like guppies? maybe is something to do with number or water flow?
I find they school up better with a faster pace of flow. With slower water flow I find they move apart and mooch about.
hi mark,just want to say i am absolutely loving these breeding programmes,i have learnt so much...one question,not linked to breeding,just want to know your thoughts.can i put my heaters in a sump,just to keep them hidden??..
Yes that's the best place to put your heater. Thanks for watching 👍😀
White Cloud Mountain Minnow? Omg what a long name. In my country this fish is simply called Cardinal
Thanks for watching 👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS Ur welcome, btw nice pond and fishroom
People sometimes shorten it to WCMM in writing.
Hi Mark top notch mate!. I have just put Astro Turf into the bottom of my 20 gallon tank with a few stones in the corners, hoping to breed white mountain Minnows. Following your video tips fingers crossed..Do you know anything about breeding Apple Snails
Normally with snails if they are of breeding age and fed well they should breed easily. I've never bred them before tho.
Can you breed Hillstream loach ?
how far along the minnows stage should I change from infusoria to brine shrimp? thanks!
Hi. About 10 days .👍😀
I have one male and 3 females of white clouds, just purchased some java moss hoping they lay eggs and we get some fry
I heard the fry can feed off the micro organisms of the java moss?
Yes they can . but I runs out quickly so you mite want to start an infusoria culture.
Can we use hydrilla verticillata plant for breeding mountain minnows ?
Which fish you find to be easier to try breeding, that schools directionally?
I am in Paris, FR; my water is 7/7,5; hard water, moderately alkaline.
Basing on your videos I thought about black neons, but I'm not sure, what you think?
Black neons are nice schooling fish. Just add lots of wood and indian almond leaves to soften the water.
Hey Mark how's it goin my friend
Very well thank you Christopher. Thanks for watching 👍😀
Have you ever tried to breed guppies Mark? Maybe you could do a video on it.
If you look in my playlists you'll find a video on how to breed them .
@@MARKSAQUATICS really? haha That's was just a joke. I've just started with my bettas I'll have to watch your video on that.
Ι see you bred normal White clouds with golden ones. I have 4 regular males atm but I can't find any more locally. I saw some nice gold females at my pet store, is it a good idea to cross breed them? I saw both videos 2 times sorry if you talked about it and I missed it.
Will kuhli loaches eat the white cloud eggs
Do you ever use vinegar eels? I have a culture of them thinking they were the smallest live food unless these are smaller?
Yes now and again i do. I've just got loads of walter worms so I use them. 👍😀
Nice how di you get them wiglers need some
Do you mean the walter worms? If so you can buy cultures on ebay.
Could you please, put up links to your lights?
This is an old video, I'll have to watch it again to find out what lights.😂👍
I think it was the ikea bar, i searched but didn't find it. Im getting back into aquariums after 20 years alot has changed.
@@jsv6849 from what I can remember it was part of their hydroponic system they sell.
i managed to breed mine a few month ago had about 100 but lost a lot whats the growth rate on minnows mine are still pretty small
The growth rate varies on temp food and water quality. Thanks for watching 👍😀
Thanks mate :)
Mine never breed anymore had them years last dlawnwn over 4 years ago atleast
How much are those ikea lights mark?
I think they are around £30 each 😀👍
No up close of the fry... ☹☹
No information found on how to breed minnows. Helpless.
I'm only 4 minutes into your vid and have lost count of the times you have said "little" ... ha ha ha ha
Can these be kept in a pond in uk or what fish for outside in small pond ta
