Hi guys. On this episode we'll be taking a look at the neon fry and talking about feeding them. also we'll be taking a look at the zebra danios . Join me for part 3
OMG Mark! You really are the Sir Attenborough of fish breeding documentary for me. Absolutely brilliant every video you produce, thank you so much. Please think about producing the artemia hatcher for sale, I so want to buy one! ;)
Great video, mate it is good to see someone show the whole process for a change. I love how easy to understand you make things for beginner to expert aquarists alike.
Yea at first I thought he forgot to put his bong away before filming. Haha This neon tetra series is good Mark I sub'd and i let it play all it's commericals and thumbs up'd them because you're doing good work here. People like you make me wish i was a millionaire. i'd ship you a state of the art underwater microcamera with ultrazoom movement control mechanisms mounted over the tank so you could deliver the kind of footage you want to see yourself and deliver to us. But you did FANTASTIC with the equipment at your disposal, hell this video is older so I'll look at newer content. The spooky algorithm recomended you most likely because a couple days ago i googled "what do neon tretras eat?" Haha, I got my kid some, and I love 'em, but they didn't go to the top and peck it like i thought, they wait for it to descend and play birdie with it so i need a better food. Well done! 👏👏👏👏
I got some tetras in my sons 10 gallon that I will be upgrading to a 20 gallon long soon, and plan on getting more tetras for him and wanted to try and breed them for him and these videos are a real good step by step guide on how so thank you!
What an enthralling video. As a kid I too had tetras, I did accidentally breed a few, I got up to about 30 and came home one day and a friend caught a 4 inch sooty grunter/jungle perch and thought he would do me a favour and throw them into my tank. I got home to no tetras left. Anyway, I will get some again....PS my tetras lived tropical and sometimes I would come home and the water was up over 34/5 c, the neons went black. I would grab 2l of cold water out of the fridge and pour it down one side, the tetras used to 'zing' thru the cold water and recover.. Cheers floot top of australia
They've seen the light! Haha. Nice videos Mr.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Saludos and blessings from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
a general rule of thumb for maximum growth of the fish (any fish) is 1cm per 1L, change 20% water every 2nd day (can have another little tank with no fish sitting to the side cycling away if you have bad water conditions where you live)
A little tip for you: Brine shrimp are best used 12h after hatched, after that, they start to become less nutrition and you might have better results if you enrich them. So, if you have to much, just freeze them in a container to make ice cubes in order to retain some nutrional value. ;)
Great videos on how to breed neons very interesting I have always wanted too bread them in have bread angels and corries but nothing else will have a go at neons great tips thanks
Mark I enjoy your video thanks for the tip i been seeing over hundreds of eggs in my tank didnt know what to do until i saw this i will keep in touch to see how i do.
Really appreciate your time and efforts thank you so much. Is it possible to substitute brine shrimp with something else as I have no access to it for the moment. Thank you 😁😁
Hello, is there no ventilation or filtration used during and after propagation? Does any part of the water change in any way? Thanks for the reply, Martin
Hello, I saw some people use Sera Micron for just born cebra fry, Sera micron is smaller than infusoria, is also good for guppy fry. ¿Do you think this product is also okey for neon fry? Thank you. Good video.
A few questions if you have the time... 1. Do you suggest replacing the peat with every spawn or can you get several spawns from it before it needs to be replaced? 2. What size aquarium are you using? 3. Is Cardinal Tetras breeding process the same as the Neon Tetras? Just found your channel. New subscriber. Thanks for sharing!
Hi. I replace it every time as you lose the buffering capability of the peat. And I use a 5 gallon aquarium. It's the same breeding process for Cardinal Tetras. Thank you for subscribing. 👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS - Thanks for the reply and information. I bread them back in the early 70s but other than the extremely soft water I could not remember what or how I did it. Thanks again. I will give this a try when I get my fish room expansion completed.
Oh My I got excited seeing one of my tetra's belly all fat with eggs. Guess it's not possible for the fry to survive in a community tank?. Probably why I haven't gotten any in 4 years of owning them.
Sir I have a day old n some week old frys I'm feeding them egg yolk solution my doubt is are they big enough to munch on bbs that young ? Some suggests nit to feed bbs baby brine shrimps as they will be bigger for them to eat is that so please guide me ... I see very lil growth n some looks the same even after a week on egg yolk ..
Found your channel over the weekend and was blown away! I am setting up my neon breeding tank and cultures, hope you can answer a question about the brine shrimp. If I continue to feed the fry walter worms, is a brine shrimp setup necessary? Reason I ask is you mention in one of your neon vids that adults can also eat the walter worms. If brine shrimp are a key part of successful fry rearing, no problem. Just trying to keep it simple. Thanks for all the hard work you be done to make and edit these great video series!
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks Mark! Looks like a fairly easy setup to get up and running, just need to pick up eggs and an air pump. I can still remember my shock of finding out 30 some years ago with my first salt water tank that the "Sea Monkeys" I had sucked so much money into as a kid were readily available - though without the fancy castle container! Talk about great marketing targeted at children!
The comment that Neons will literally eat themselves to death..... does that apply to adults as well?? I am setting up fror an attempt at breeding in a small tank and my neon 20g tank is 7.4+PH and I was going to try and see what I might do which I am not at all sure just now but then was thinking I could be over feeding? I do not like to lose anything to ignorance so it is so nice to have the experts available....thanks so much
Thank you Mark for such a great informative stuff about breeding tetras and other fish. I’m new at this too and want to try it. I have Neons about 12 of them and guppies and a pair of Emerald Tetras right now and also two Corys. My water is about 7 ph and Temp stays about 79. Is that to hot for them? Keep up the good videos. I love them.
Hi Mark, very well done buddy, that's actually quite a lot of fry, much more than i thought when i watched part 2. Would this process be the same for Cardinal tetras? P.S. I just subscribed :)
michael a another way is to use ro water or rain water and add some oak or Indian almond leaves to soften the water. Remove the adults as soon as they've spawned. 😀👍
Hi Mark, Quick and to the point, I picked up some organic peat moss and presoaked for a day or so. Added peat to a 20g long. But the peat in the bottom of the tank is very fluid. If you move the water in the slightest bit, it just stirs up the peat and it floats around in the water and eventually settles back down to the bottom. What am I doing wrong? I see that your peat acts in a completely different way.
Hi Steve mine was the same. Just add the moss and fish and leave it, the fish are tiny and wont stir it up ok.It will get heavier as time goes on ok..👍😀
Would this breeding way for the neons work for other types of tetras aswell? Im looking to stock a 600l aquarium with various species of tetras and was planning on breeding them myself to lower the costs. Great videos
You mentioned using 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide to remove cyanobacteria, does it matter the size of the tank? 100 gallons? How much to dose that size or a 55 gallon? Thanks.
Hey Mark. Awesome job. How old are these and how long does it take for them to be sale size? I've breed Bettas and Peacock Gudgeons and it takes over 6 months for them to reach an inch !
I have a question,I am planning nano planted tank,does potting organic soil kill fish( I wanted to replace my gravel with potting organic soil),I have neon tetras and harly queens
You can use potting soil but make sure its organic with no fertilizers ok. Soak it for a week in a bucket of fresh water before adding it to your tank ok.👍😀
Aaron Marshall It all depends on the fish you keep. If your just putting them back with the parents as soon as they have have their colour and are eating brine shrimp.😀👍
Subbed. Finally someone willing to share information like this with regular people
OMG Mark! You really are the Sir Attenborough of fish breeding documentary for me. Absolutely brilliant every video you produce, thank you so much. Please think about producing the artemia hatcher for sale, I so want to buy one! ;)
Thanks! Sir David Attenborough is my hero.👍😀
U are giving us amazing information
This is very generous
I don’t mind 10 advertisements during watching 😉
Thank u
That's an outstanding result. Such a large success rate.
Great video, mate it is good to see someone show the whole process for a change. I love how easy to understand you make things for beginner to expert aquarists alike.
That's the fanciest looking brine shrimp hatchery I have ever seen! Very stylish!
Yea at first I thought he forgot to put his bong away before filming. Haha

Those diamond teras are stunning. I had mine in a blackwater tank.
Excellent videos Mark... Very informative.. Keep em coming.. Thanks

Thanks for the message Floot.
I love your videos.First time I see this procedure,pretty interesting.
Really like that cute little Hatcher
They've seen the light! Haha. Nice videos Mr.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Saludos and blessings from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Great Videos and info... Will have to give this a try... Thanx for sharing your Knowledge...
Do you have a video of cleaning the brine shrimp? Wondering how you do that.
a general rule of thumb for maximum growth of the fish (any fish) is 1cm per 1L, change 20% water every 2nd day (can have another little tank with no fish sitting to the side cycling away if you have bad water conditions where you live)
There doing very well.great job

You must be the Jacques Cousteau of England great video
Great videos on how to breed neons very interesting I have always wanted too bread them in have bread angels and corries but nothing else will have a go at neons great tips thanks
Fantastic video thanks for taking the time to make it, you mentioned in video 1 that you can buy small breeding tanks can you recommend any please.
I get my breeding tanks from pets at home.
@@MARKSAQUATICS brilliant Mark I’ll do the same are they just the reptile tanks
I picked up a few neons today (traded some java moss with my LFS). I am going to give this a go. Thanks for the great info.
Mark I enjoy your video thanks for the tip i been seeing over hundreds of eggs in my tank didnt know what to do until i saw this i will keep in touch to see how i do.
Got yourself a fish nursery going on there, great video Mark 👍🏻
Sure have Paul.
Love your videos!! Loving the breeding series!!
Really appreciate your time and efforts thank you so much. Is it possible to substitute brine shrimp with something else as I have no access to it for the moment.
Thank you 😁😁
SO COOL!!! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you liked it!
Hello, is there no ventilation or filtration used during and after propagation? Does any part of the water change in any way? Thanks for the reply, Martin
thank you for the incredible videos. love you sir!
Another awsome video sir thanks. Happy fishkeeping
Truly inspiring mate 👍
They sure are getting some nice color. Keep up the great work.
How are the baby zebra plecos doing?
Hello, I saw some people use Sera Micron for just born cebra fry, Sera micron is smaller than infusoria, is also good for guppy fry.
¿Do you think this product is also okey for neon fry? Thank you. Good video.
Cant wait for part 4!! Once my store bought tetras grow up a bit im going to attempt to breed them:)
A few questions if you have the time...

They'll get eaten in a community tank.
Thx man I love your content
Very informative

Thank you!!!Fantastic information!!!! How do you water changes without sucking up those little guys?
Put an air stone on the end of the pipe. 😀👍
5:33 Also you can collect artemia with small battery lamp 😎 btw. Great video
😂😂😂 9:44 sorry 😂😂😂
love to see vid of fresh water angelfish breeding. i can never seem to get the eggs to hatch or if do do not last long

You don't need brine shrimp but they make a nice change for them. The fry like to chase and catch food.

super job! you inspire me
Good video as usual. with the betta liking warm water and the shrimp cooler what temp do you have.
I'm lucky here all my tanks are at the back of my house so the temp stays the same.👍😀
Thank you Mark for such a great informative stuff about breeding tetras and other fish. I’m new at this too and want to try it.

That temp is fine. Thanks for watching Cindy.😀
Love these videos of the neon breeding. I really liked the simple way you break the whole thing down
Thanks for watching kenith
Hi Mark, very well done buddy, that's actually quite a lot of fry, much more than i thought when i watched part 2. Would this process be the same for Cardinal tetras? P.S. I just subscribed :)
Hi Michael . Yes the same proses. Thanks for subbing up.👍😀
Most welcome sir :) I'd like to try spawning these tetras but i can't find untreated peat moss. Is there an alternative?
michael a another way is to use ro water or rain water and add some oak or Indian almond leaves to soften the water. Remove the adults as soon as they've spawned. 😀👍
Thank you very much Mark, much appreciated :) This i can do...i hope...
Would you please post a link for the BB mix you suggested? I have had bad results/prices with the ones that I have tried. Thank you.
Hi Mark,
Quick and to the point, I picked up some organic peat moss and presoaked for a day or so.
Added peat to a 20g long.
But the peat in the bottom of the tank is very fluid.
If you move the water in the slightest bit, it just stirs up the peat and it floats around in the water and eventually settles back down to the bottom.
What am I doing wrong?
I see that your peat acts in a completely different way.
Hi Steve mine was the same. Just add the moss and fish and leave it, the fish are tiny and wont stir it up ok.It will get heavier as time goes on ok..👍😀
Hey mark have you ever grown any plants emersed ??? Great vid 👍😃
Yes lots of them? 👍😀
Hi Mark, how old are these fry in this video part?
Would this breeding way for the neons work for other types of tetras aswell? Im looking to stock a 600l aquarium with various species of tetras and was planning on breeding them myself to lower the costs. Great videos
Thanks for watching! Their quite similar , I'll be breeding species soon. 👍😀
@@MARKSAQUATICS Great ill keep an eye out!
Can i use the same method you use for breeding the cardinals with rummynose?
You mentioned using 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide to remove cyanobacteria, does it matter the size of the tank? 100 gallons? How much to dose that size or a 55 gallon? Thanks.
No. Don't treat the whole tank just target treat infected areas
NIce video, the fry looks really healthy! Could you try to breed those lovely pygmy corydoras? I appreciate these video's a lot!
I've got a lovely little colony of pygmy's in my bench tank I'll have to fish them out and do it.👍😀
That would be really awesome sir!
Great! :) I'm gonna have to try this!
Hi Mark, Do you have to remove the parents once they have spawned? Will the parents eat their young?
Yes remove the parents from the tank as soon as they've spawned.
MARK'S AQUATICS cheers mark
Instead of Peat could you use plenty of Catappa leaves?
Shit I wanted to see the sieve! Lol
When you put the brine shrimp in your fish tank, do they die in the freshwater if the fish don’t eat them?
They will die over time but normally get eaten before they die.
Love your breeding videos!
How old are the fry in this vid?
Hello. About 3 weeks I think.
Hi Mark. Great vid. Where did you buy that substrate from?
The peat i use I make myself from my garden plants. You can use organic peat just make sure it has no added ferts ok.👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS could you use Sphagnum moss instead?
Yes that would be fine.
Excellent!!!!. What is the ph of water?
Hi 6.5.😊👍
i go back to petco and buy more, that's how i breed neon tetras
How often/ how do you handle water changes with these tiny little guys?
10% once a week.
I drain out the old water with a piece of airline with an air stone on the end to stop fry from being sucked up.
Perfect thanks so much LOVE your channel!!!❤❤❤❤👏👏
Hi Mark, How do you supply air to your tanks. Centrally or do you use individual air pumps?
On pump to rule them all
MARK'S AQUATICS maybe you do a video about the air in your workShop

Hey Mark. Awesome job. How old are these and how long does it take for them to be sale size?
I've breed Bettas and Peacock Gudgeons and it takes over 6 months for them to reach an inch !
Hi it takes a while. A couple of months. 😀👍
I have a question,I am planning nano planted tank,does potting organic soil kill fish( I wanted to replace my gravel with potting organic soil),I have neon tetras and harly queens
You can use potting soil but make sure its organic with no fertilizers ok. Soak it for a week in a bucket of fresh water before adding it to your tank ok.👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS ok,thanks👍
Hi Mark can you tell me where i can get peat balls from
You make them yourself. Just put some organic compost in a pair of pantyhose make a ball and tie a knot in it.😀👍
How do you prevent the neons from having a shock due to the pH difference from your main tank and your breeder tank?
The ph in the main tank is not much different to the breeding tank. Happy New year 😀👍
Could you do diamond tetras breeding next please. Thanks.
I've got a pair of diamond tetras.👍😀
Could u add shrimp to that tank and would they be able to live in that tank
Yes they would be fine as the fry grow out.
How long or what size would the fry have to be to put them in with parents or community tank
Aaron Marshall It all depends on the fish you keep. If your just putting them back with the parents as soon as they have have their colour and are eating brine shrimp.😀👍
MARK'S AQUATICS thank you mate
What was the name of the peat you used and where did you get it?
The peat I use I make myself. You can use shop peat just make sure it has no added fertilizers ok. look for organic.👍😀
How can you tell the difference between Male and female?
Have you a video on breeding clownfish
Hi yes I do. Check in my playlists 😀👍
What are the ''grass thingy plant'' at 23:46 called?
I make them. They're cucumber holders.
