Got a lot of CPD fry already; actually they are adults now. Kubotai was a lot harder to spawn but I got a couple of eggs and fry few days ago after slowly changing their water to a mix of RO and tap water. Their eggs are soooo tiny; I would say 50% smaller than CPD eggs.
@@IMaqua Kubotai look so similar to ember tetras I never would have guessed they were totally difference species. CPD eggs are surprisingly big for tiny tiny fish.
I just had them spawn the other day. I got them in February; so I had to grow them out first. After that I tried breeding them in tap water only but that didn't work (as I suspected). So I slowly transitioned them to a mix of 75% RO and 25% tap water. I did this over a course of 3 weeks with each water change I added more and more of the RO-Tap mix. I stained the water with tannins. I feed them heavily with BBS 3 times and week and that did the trick. Their eggs are photosensitive but I managed to hatch 10 little fry in darkness. I still have to see how often they spawn. Their eggs are so small and the water is full of tannins that it is hard to see them. I also added a spawn mop and they like depositing their eggs there and that it a good thing. I will do a video about the whole process when I feel am "Kubotai master".
I don't know if mine eat their own fry but these are found in one chamber of my sump. So far I got 7 babies swimming in it. I feed them once there and I'm breeding now the 3º generation of celestial danios
I don't think you can have success with both fish in the same tank. Microdevario kubotai needs a soft RO water and I was breeding CPDs in tap (hard) water. They can't crossbreed.
I still have one of those breeding boxes lying around from who knows when ( a long time ago). 😅 I never thought about drilling holes in the floaty parts and letting it sink like this; that's pretty clever. 👍
This is so exciting! I love when you have babies! Although they are so small I can’t believe that you can even see them😂 Also I had to watch this twice, I got so relaxed the first time that I fell asleep. Your voice and the music and the sounds of the water… It was so lovely it just knocked me out. And then I realized that I didn’t have any idea what actually happened in the video😂 Those little breeding boxes are really interesting, I never thought about how you keep the eggs safe if the parents want to eat them. Thank you for sharing your hard work and these beautiful videos with us!

Pozdrav.
Been waiting for this one! Two of my favourite fish!
Got a lot of CPD fry already; actually they are adults now. Kubotai was a lot harder to spawn but I got a couple of eggs and fry few days ago after slowly changing their water to a mix of RO and tap water. Their eggs are soooo tiny; I would say 50% smaller than CPD eggs.
@@IMaqua Kubotai look so similar to ember tetras I never would have guessed they were totally difference species. CPD eggs are surprisingly big for tiny tiny fish.
Compared to Kubotai eggs CPD eggs are giants.
Even betta fish eggs they are way bigger. @@IMaqua Do the Kubotai spawn as often or is it a little more random. CPD basically go everyday.
I just had them spawn the other day. I got them in February; so I had to grow them out first. After that I tried breeding them in tap water only but that didn't work (as I suspected). So I slowly transitioned them to a mix of 75% RO and 25% tap water. I did this over a course of 3 weeks with each water change I added more and more of the RO-Tap mix. I stained the water with tannins. I feed them heavily with BBS 3 times and week and that did the trick. Their eggs are photosensitive but I managed to hatch 10 little fry in darkness. I still have to see how often they spawn. Their eggs are so small and the water is full of tannins that it is hard to see them. I also added a spawn mop and they like depositing their eggs there and that it a good thing. I will do a video about the whole process when I feel am "Kubotai master".
I don't know if mine eat their own fry but these are found in one chamber of my sump. So far I got 7 babies swimming in it. I feed them once there and I'm breeding now the 3º generation of celestial danios
I am sure if given the chance and if babies are small enough they will eat them. Luckily your fry survived. Cheers
@@IMaqua I give you an update now. I have like 18-20 almost ready to jump on the tank and a group of 10 babies swimming in the refugium of my sump.
@@UnMinutoViajando that is good news. Enjoy your new fry. Cheers
do you think you could have success with both species in the same tank? Would there be any crossbreeding potential between these two species?
I don't think you can have success with both fish in the same tank. Microdevario kubotai needs a soft RO water and I was breeding CPDs in tap (hard) water. They can't crossbreed.

Keen as

Two of my favorite fish ❤️.
I think I like CPDs just a little bit more. Thanks for watching Lorenzo.
👏👏👏

I still have one of those breeding boxes lying around from who knows when ( a long time ago). 😅
I never thought about drilling holes in the floaty parts and letting it sink like this; that's pretty clever. 👍
Yeah that is the best way to keep them on the bottom. They lost their "floating" properties but I don't need them for that anyway. Cheers Frank

Thanks for watching Jen. I got Kubotai babies yesterday that are even smaller than CPD babies and it was a real challenge to spot them.
Bro did not hesitate to get his hands wet to take out the pots but used a forceps to take the floating plants up 🤣
It's bro science.
