Thank you for so good films this and all. I am always looking forward for new films. We are so lucky to have you willingly sharing with us you experience. Grade job.
Great video. We’ve use foam boxes to breed bettas for over 20 years and if I may, I’d like to mention that water will eventually soak through the foam. We use non-toxic paint to layer the inside to help retain water. Good luck everyone!
I'm on my first Betts hatch, 6 to 7 days in. I been supplementing bbs for vinegar eels. Only getting bbs every 36 hrs. Will the vinegar eels keep them sustained until they're big enough for real food?
I sustained a significant injury in November of last year and been recovering from multiple surgeries. Your channel keeps me in good spirits and I really appreciate your passion for the hobby. Thanks Rich
I absolutely love these breeding projects your posting for us to learn!!! I’m so hooked on them man!!! I still can’t wait to see the bettas and how beautiful they have become so far!!! Keep it up cuz this is fire!
Hey Nick isn’t it just crazy that you started your journey in your mams Breakfast Room and now you have your own business! Keep up the good work. We all learn so much from you! Thanks for that and a big hello from Germany😃
I LOVE these "how to breed" videos so much. You really make these tutorials actually simple (who would've said on a channel named like this) compared to other breeders who overcomplicate things or make them less easy to understand sometimes. Please don't ever stop doing these. Unless you of course run out of fish haha. Next time I'd like to see some more tricky egg scatterers, barbs or rasboras for example. I'm exactly that type of guy you mentioned - I always only ever bred livebearers and only now thanks to you I'm trying to get into egg laying fish!
Hi. Could you talk a bit more about the process of breeding the Danios? For instance, the KFS guy says that if you put them in a tank together when the females are plump, then the next day "at daylight" they will begin spawning. Yet it looks like he is using artificial lighting, and on top of that he places a lid over the foam box to keep them from jumping out. I don't recall him saying anything about using light timers if he is using artificial lights, or whether fluorescents or LEDSs are better. Do you feel the fish need to see natural sunlight to breed? Also, I never really hear the issue of inbreeding within any of the fish breeding videos, but can't help but think it would be very difficult to prevent. As fish buyers should we just assume that that type of thing is more or less going to occur within the hobby? I'd really like to hear your input on this if you have the time.
This channel deserves more view and subscribers been watching from betta breeding year ago until today really helpful videos,they way he explain things make it easy to understand.
These breeding videos have been a very helpful resource for beginner breeders like myself, would love to see one on celestial pearl danios if you are up to making it!
An absolutely FANTASTIC video! You have made the whole process so easy, clear, simple, affordable it's unbelievable. It's so professional it's an Academy Award video winner! This might be my favorite tropical fish video of all time.
You may want to try breeding them when the males are one type and the females the other. Do this in two separate containers when in each of the containers, the opposite species of the different types. Some genes are passed only by males, and others are passed only by females. When you do this experiment, you are likely to come out with 2 different types of fish with different traits.
I was also taught to use a wire screen about 1 inch from the bottom of the tank, but we were told to leave the fish in the net for 2 mornings. But, it does depend on the number of fish we wanted to grow out. Love your channel
I'm planning on getting some danios pretty soon; I've had plenty of experience keeping and breeding ricefish, but for some reason the common "boring" zebra danio has really caught my interest. I'm hoping to get some zebra danios in a few weeks, alongside gold ring and pearl (Albolineatus) danios, and this video should really help me when it comes time to try breeding them. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi Nick, I love what you do and you have taught me so much being an Aussie kid I am very fortunate to have a great role model like you. I have been investing in pairs of fish and tanks and systems for keeping them and I am super excited because my angelfish just spawned for the first time and my Golden rams are looking like the will soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching me so much
I used large river stones in my platy tank and my fry count increased at least 6fold. Seems to be a good method for keeping most fry alive. Love your videos mate, really appreciate all the info
Fyi, when you do a full mix of longfin and gold, your going to get some fry that are going to be gold x gold and longfin x longfin. So when you look at these results keep in mind you will have an unknown percentage of normal gold and longfin fish. Next time, for a true mix I would put males of all one type with females of all one type. So all female gold with all male longfin. Great video, I had a good time!
As a lifelong snake keeper I was thrown into the fish world kicking and screaming when I was bought a tiny tank for Xmas. In no time I had replaced it and am soaking up as much advice as possible!! THANK YOU for your brilliant channel and easy way of teaching what you have learned over many years!!
Another great vlog Thank you so much for sharing. It's really addictive watching the amount of detail you put into allowing us to see this. You are so inspiring 🙂
Excellent video! It's highly encouraging and makes me what to give breeding danios a go. Plus, your way of explanation makes it so easy to follow. Thanks!
Loving ur video…. Ur method of breeding fishes is so detailed,well explained, honest n practical in every way…it definitely inspire us fish keepers Keep up the good work, mate. Hopefully u could turn this hobby into a profitable business of ur own one day soon
You are very Pro with this big tank for danios. Actually, they are small but love to swim and so long aquarium gives them great start. In nature, danios have plenty room to swim.
Greetings from Scotland. Another excellent video, thoroughly enjoying your breeding projects. How on earth and at what stage do you attempt a water change? If ever I'm in a position to breed fish, your channel will be my 'go to' as your method of teaching is superb. Thank you.
The egg yolk is a great food in a hurry. However it can pollute the water if over used. I've found a couple small pond snails can help with anything that settles to the bottom. I used it the first time raising a surprise batch of pearl danio. Great step by step video filled with information. Keep up the good work.
Awesome, it looks & sounds pretty simple but I still have a thing for goldfish & guppies I had 2 years with both & it keeps me busy. I got out of the guppies but I kept the goldfish & from the looks of them, THEY'VE GROWN !! I can't afford a bigger pond next year OH-NO 😱 No their good, their in a 110 gal Stock Tank with a 1400gph pump with a diy matten filter just got done doing it today, that took 3 days. 1 was to make the matten filter for the tank 2 was to empty the tank the goldfish were in cause I needed the spot where they were at. 3 was to set up 2nd stock tank that has the matten filter built ON TO the stock tank walls Silicone with the heater in with the pump that's behind the matten filter & have the flow pointed to 1 side for a circular turbulence to keep things moving, I don't have a video of it but I can try & get 1 done of what it looks like & it's doing.
Awesome video! Thank you. Just to mention the one with the rocks is kinda hard sometimes because they lay the eggs and they actually stick to the rock’s surface and trying to remove them will pop them.
Awesome dude, love it, thanks! Can't wait to get update on the mix breeds Danios and also the mixed color Neocaridina shrimp project. I am so interested to see if they really will all turn brown since i would love to make a mixed color tank also. I love your channel, your attitude and the way you explain things, very accessible and down to earth. You rule!
I'm just starting in the hobby. My first fish were long finned zebra danios....they are great. I'll try breeding them because of this video....thanks so much...fun to watch
Loved this video...how easy is it to breed and maybe make money with these! And what cool little project...especially if you involve children; great learning experience.
Could you please please make a video on how to sell the fish… I’ve been breeding for two years now just live bearers and I’ve just given them to petco for free I’m looking to do plecos and angle fish next wondering how do I go about selling. I live in the middle of nowhere in the country my only local fish store is a petco… any suggestions
@Chloes Aquatic Centre I don’t have a “local” all there is for hours is a petco Wich don’t buy fish and I’ve been in every Facebook group but they ban selling weirdly in all the groups In my area. I’ve only ever met three people that have fishtanks in my 15 years in the hobby. Where I’m from people just don’t keep fish
@@StoneAquaticspossibly try shipping them online. It’s a decent bit of work and I don’t know much about it but I know some people sell fish that way. Or make a pyramid scheme and convince all of your friends and family to start breeding so you can sell them your fish.
breeding videos are very interesting!!! Would really like to see more of he Bettas you managed t spawn in last video - love Bettas!!! Be nice to see what colours you got and how they are coming along!!! I have 2 Bettas & wanted to get your advice on the best food for them - some people say all frozen and live - others say Betta flakes and pellets - frozen or live just for a treat!!!!! All so confusing!!!!! K in Scotland!!
Thanks for posting, I have never noticed the danio, I'm a guppy and pleco breeding guy, I have been for years. But this has got me wanting to give this a try!!.
Hello, I'm new to fish keeping and eventually want to breed some fishes in the future. I thought you need to acclimate the fish before you put them in a new environment and you also need a filter?
Absolutely wonderful. Super positive video. Love seeing the new fish room come along aswell. I will start breeding some as soon as I move to Japan and get set up there (currently in Indonesia).
I have cross bred glow fish Daniels with striped danios, got some super cool colors, dark maroon reds and forest green with two racer stripes on the sides
Fun Fact: Zebra Danios form bonded pairs and choose a lifetime mate. This bond is strong enough that even if one of the pair dies, the other may not mate again. THX for your breeding videos mate 👍 so much fun to experience your experience breeding these fish! 🔥
Great video nick!. Another great project you have going on in your fish room. Congratulations on the spawns , can't wait to see more updates on them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sadly my local only ever had zebra danios don’t get me wrong I love them but I’ve kept them for like five years and my colony is down to just three wish I could breed some of these cooler danios!
Dude my Danios did it on their own without me knowing and now I have double of what I had before. And I have a white cloud mixes with red barbs witch is cool
Can confirm this will work for giant danio as well. Been trying to breed mine for months with no success. First try with this method and my six giant danio produced about 100 eggs and they are all fertilized.

They will spawn in 18-28c
Can eggs hatch in the colder water I see dean and also you use just buckets and stuff for them no heat needed just air ?
hey man can you breed gold white clouds the same way?
That’s fast!😮
will that range of temperature work with CPDs?
Thank you for so good films this and all. I am always looking forward for new films. We are so lucky to have you willingly sharing with us you experience. Grade job.
Great video. We’ve use foam boxes to breed bettas for over 20 years and if I may, I’d like to mention that water will eventually soak through the foam. We use non-toxic paint to layer the inside to help retain water. Good luck everyone!
Smart! Thanks for the tip, saves me the headache!
Can I put guppies inside a water bucket
@@SaikouKatahichi i had guppies before but that’s not my expertise. Best!
I'm on my first Betts hatch, 6 to 7 days in. I been supplementing bbs for vinegar eels. Only getting bbs every 36 hrs. Will the vinegar eels keep them sustained until they're big enough for real food?
@@killbass13 Hi there, yes the eels should. Good luck!
I sustained a significant injury in November of last year and been recovering from multiple surgeries. Your channel keeps me in good spirits and I really appreciate your passion for the hobby. Thanks Rich
Get well soon
This man is a Godsend for beginner breeders.
Definitely a top fish tuber IMHO

Love how you covered the entire process . It’d be out of this world if you covered the part they grew to they’re full size
The way you explain makes it more easier. I will waiting for more projects in future ✨
Love the breeding projects would love to breed a bunch of fish in the future keep up the great work!
Couldn't find a box with holes similar to the black one you have, so I'm using a salad spinner! 😎
I don't
normally comment on vids, i have to say young man. you are inspiring, i actually learn from your vids keep it up
Like you rightly said, most would stop the video just after the eggs are hatched. Thanks for showing us how to raise them too ❤❤
I was also taught to use a wire screen about 1 inch from the bottom of the tank, but we were told to leave the fish in the net for 2 mornings. But, it does depend on the number of fish we wanted to grow out. Love your channel
Dude u are so cool
U just make it look so easy
These new breeding videos have been so great to watch. Your editing has always been good but it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come with your videos.
My editor does a great job
Love watching your dedication and attention to developing innovative breeding techniques
Love how thorough your videos are. Love having to just watch one video with all the information and not a series over a couple of weeks. Great job.
I'm planning on getting some danios pretty soon; I've had plenty of experience keeping and breeding ricefish, but for some reason the common "boring" zebra danio has really caught my interest.

You're such an inspiration! One of my favorite FishTubers❤Stay blessed💙
I can’t wait till I grad when I’m not travelling as much , your vid’s make me wanna breed more fish
The content in 2022 on this channel is amazing, great step forward nick with the type of content your producing.

By far the best setup I've seen for egg scattering fish it's extremely simple almost anyone can have access to these
Great stuff. It's amazing what you can use to breed those fish. Looks so simple!
I used large river stones in my platy tank and my fry count increased at least 6fold. Seems to be a good method for keeping most fry alive.

Thank you for taking me on that journey!
These diy breeding fish using easy to get Materials are 🔥🔥🔥keep making it
dude you make the best fish related videos. this channel is my new favourite. i cannot wait to see more content from you!
From the first time put some danios, do i have to put aerator?

If ever I'm in a position to breed fish, your channel will be my 'go to' as your method of teaching is superb. Thank you.
Great, thx! Why do not fishes mate in big tank, and mate in containers? How about water quality? Thx for answers 😉
Another really interesting video with lots of information. You're lucky in Australia because you don't need heaters.
I had a nice 80gal African Cichlid tank with about 20 cichlids and a lone Leopard Danio . The Danio was the total boss of the entire tank 😎
What a great idea, I’ll be giving this ago! Love to see you breed Medaka Ricefish

Afternoon, How long can the fry stay in boxes before water gets unhealthy? Do they need air stone....? Thanks !
Hi there new sub & fellow fishkeeper from Namibia! Absolutely love these breeding tutorials so far! Keep up the great work!
You are the Master breeder Dan of Australia!
Awesome, it looks & sounds pretty simple
but I still have a thing for goldfish & guppies
I had 2 years with both & it keeps me busy.
I got out of the guppies but I kept the goldfish
& from the looks of them, THEY'VE GROWN !!
I can't afford a bigger pond next year OH-NO 😱
No their good, their in a 110 gal Stock Tank
with a 1400gph pump with a diy matten filter
just got done doing it today, that took 3 days.
1 was to make the matten filter for the tank
2 was to empty the tank the goldfish were in
cause I needed the spot where they were at.
3 was to set up 2nd stock tank that has the
matten filter built ON TO the stock tank walls
Silicone with the heater in with the pump that's
behind the matten filter & have the flow pointed
to 1 side for a circular turbulence to keep things
moving, I don't have a video of it but I can
try & get 1 done of what it looks like & it's doing.
Another amazing video. I got some new fishes after watching your neon Tetra breeding project. Keep up the great job mate
How clever...I have pearl danios..and they are non stop action. I absolutely love them ..I'm thinking of adding some smaller danios eventually.
I still laugh 😂 when you where rocking the Sanchez 😂 bro being back the mustachio 🎉
Can't wait to see how the cross one looks
Awesome video! Thank you. Just to mention the one with the rocks is kinda hard sometimes because they lay the eggs and they actually stick to the rock’s surface and trying to remove them will pop them.

really enjoyed your thorough and interesting explanation, thank you.
Fun Fact: Zebra Danios form bonded pairs and choose a lifetime mate. This bond is strong enough that even if one of the pair dies, the other may not mate again. THX for your breeding videos mate 👍 so much fun to experience your experience breeding these fish! 🔥
Great video nick!. Another great project you have going on in your fish room. Congratulations on the spawns , can't wait to see more updates on them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
When you move the fry to the tank (pond) how do you clean it without sucking up the fry? Are they big enough to get out of the way?
This is amazing! Thank you for this video keep up the great work!
With your great instructions, I feel like I can be successful breeding egg-scatterers, too. Thank you!
Sadly my local only ever had zebra danios don’t get me wrong I love them but I’ve kept them for like five years and my colony is down to just three wish I could breed some of these cooler danios!
Thanks so much! That was the sickest video I’ve ever seen!!!!! I’m definitely going to breed them!
Great channel inspired me to get back into the hobby
Dude my Danios did it on their own without me knowing and now I have double of what I had before. And I have a white cloud mixes with red barbs witch is cool
Can confirm this will work for giant danio as well. Been trying to breed mine for months with no success. First try with this method and my six giant danio produced about 100 eggs and they are all fertilized.
Greetings from Germany , i love watching your Videos , you,re doing really great !
