I have been an aquarist since the age of 10. I am not exaggerating when I say to you Mark that you have put together the greatest series of all aspects of tropical fish breeding I have ever seen. You really should consider getting all this in a book. It would be a number one best seller. If you don’t want to spend the time writing, there are ghost writers that will do it with you and publishers that could help make a beautiful book. The majority of tropical fish books written in the past never go into the detail as you have. Please think about it. Thanks for your knowledge and passion.
Hi Mark, keep up the good work. I have been following your channel for a few years now and I must say that your videos are really informative and helpful.
This is fantastic! I've never kept tiger barbs, or any barbs actually, always fancied them but never really had a suitable setup for them. They're like tiny angel fish! I'm tryingy hand at breeding outdoors this summer, I've set up a plasterers tub with elodea, an overflow and a coarse sponge made out of an old koi prefilter, it's running on a solar air pump at the moment, seems to be working mostly OK. I managed to get a group of 8 medaka rice fish, should be fun. Who knows, might end up filming it! Hopefully by the end of September I'll have my main 5ft tank full of them!
very interesting and look forward to seeing fry!! As I said to you a couple videos ago there is spawning activity in my Gourami tank - but I do not have spare tanks etc to be able to carry through - finally did spot 2 tiny specks under the bubble nest which were free swimming fry - and dad was doing his best to protect them - he sucked them into his mouth and then when he felt danger had passed he spat them out again!!! Then there was only one and he ended up swallowing it himself because I put food in and he had it in his mouth and I think he swallowed it with his dinner!!!! But they would never have thrived as the other fish will get them and I certainly do not have food to give them - it is a shame - but I am not set up for breeding unfortunately!!!!! K
Very cool thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching your videos Mark haven't seen any in awhile but I've differently started rewatching your videos so much great information. Thanks hope you are doing well 🙏✌️👍💗🔥💯
Hi Mark another great video you make it look easy can I ask some advice I have a 60 litre tank what would you recommend I could have I am looking to probably put 3 or 4 fish that grow to a nice size and would look attractive in a planted aquarium thanks for your time Mark all the best. Carl
I'd love to see how to breed pseudomagil and thread fin rainbows. they're 2 types of fish I want to get but can be a bit pricey. so can't necessarily just go and get big schools of them. but your videos are really good. and I love watching them thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
Love your videos Mark. I plan on breeding zebra danios in a large tub outside this year. I bought the tub last fall but still need to set everything up, since I haven't really decided on where's the best place to put it yet. I bought the danios a few weeks ago and they currently live in one of my community tanks so catching them again will be a pain for sure. Have you ever bred any fish in a tub outside other then the koi and goldfish in your pond?
@@MARKSAQUATICS I'll probably be using a filter that's currently sitting in one of my other tanks and thought about seeding the water with with pondwater from the shallow parts of our goldfish pond to get things started a few weeks before moving the danios. Your videos on danio breeding were pretty helpful as well, so thanks
I have a single female tiger barb in a 55 with small silver dollars and some tetras. Shes ready to spawn with anything. I thought there was something wrong with her till I saw she was FULL of eggs... I'm going to get her a male and fix up a spawning tank for them. I have had great success with Molly's, but they are easy.
Hey Mark how you doing my name is William and I have a question my boy betta fish build a bubble nest I let him see my female last night for about 30 minutes I woke up this morning and he had a bubble nest in the corner do that mean he wants to breed with her

Thank you for the lovely message.

I don't know why, but I've always loved and have owned tiger barbs, thanks for this video!
Tiger fish very fierce n solid aggressive for breeding nice video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Mark, keep up the good work. I have been following your channel for a few years now and I must say that your videos are really informative and helpful.

Even fish have thier priorities. Lol. Always about food first. Great video 👍
Fantastic as always Mark glad you're back

Hi Mark lovely video thanks, I’ve never kept Tiger Barbs because of their fin nipping reputation but they look interesting & colourful little fish 🐠

Be nice to see the results at the end of the year.
You make it look so simple and easy.
Another fantastic video thanks Mark 👏
Thanks for all your hard work!
Awesome sir..
Doing great sir..

❤️❤️
This is brilliant, thank you!
I love tiger barbs (especially green tiger barbs)…

Nicely done and great video. Just managed to get my panda cory's to spawn, based on tips from your video series. Thanks so much.
Great informative video mate 👏👍
Thanks for the video!
When you separate them to feed up the female, do you keep her on her own or with other females?
Hi Mark. What kind of filter you put so the eggs do not go in the filter. Also what is the decoration you put in the tank you made it? is that wool?
Fascinating video as always. 👍
Wonderful. Fascinating.
Good work bro ♥️♥️
Hi Mark another great video you make it look easy can I ask some advice I have a 60 litre tank what would you recommend I could have I am looking to probably put 3 or 4 fish that grow to a nice size and would look attractive in a planted aquarium thanks for your time Mark all the best. Carl
There's so many species it's really up to you and what you like.😀👍
Welcome
Do dome worms provide nutritional value for the female to lay eggs?
What live food do you feed the baby's? Cheers

Yes Danios breed very easily in the summer months. Just make sure the pond is stable before adding the fish.
@@MARKSAQUATICS I'll probably be using a filter that's currently sitting in one of my other tanks and thought about seeding the water with with pondwater from the shallow parts of our goldfish pond to get things started a few weeks before moving the danios. Your videos on danio breeding were pretty helpful as well, so thanks
Thanks for sharing Mark 🙏
So only put 1 male female each? Will they not breed if they are in a school
I have a single female tiger barb in a 55 with small silver dollars and some tetras. Shes ready to spawn with anything. I thought there was something wrong with her till I saw she was FULL of eggs... I'm going to get her a male and fix up a spawning tank for them. I have had great success with Molly's, but they are easy.
You'll be fine good luck.
How do I breed neon green rasboras?
Hey Mark how you doing my name is William and I have a question my boy betta fish build a bubble nest I let him see my female last night for about 30 minutes I woke up this morning and he had a bubble nest in the corner do that mean he wants to breed with her
Yes he does. Look in my playlists I've done a video series on breeding them.
Will frozen food work ??
You boil the mop, but you also need to disinfect everything else.
Do you have the master breeder title yet??
I didn't know there was one. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS I’ve obviously been watching too much Aquarium Co-op. It seems to be a program specific to the Greater Seattle Aquarium Society 🤣
Inmy area temperature is 40° C, they are able to breed in this temperature
I miss this channel
I'm back😉👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS FANTASTIC!!
Want to breed tiger Barb male with rosy
barb female
👍🏿
Mark the master breeder. You could give him a couple of fish bones and somehow he’d have them spawning in an hour
