This is why I like Michael! Tells it how it is and forget what everyone says/thinks!!!
Yeah...I don’t really care.
Very good advice Michael I've always found that a good algae growth in a well planted tank makes big strong spawns thanks for all the information on nutrition man love the videos
Thanks for watching!
love your honesty Micheal!
Thanks!
Man, I like you for being so honest and straight forward about everything. xD
Thanks!
nice information about guppies breeding and profit
Thanks!
Droppin' the breeding knowledge...always a good thing.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great job on the video Michael.
Thank you sir! Email me if you want fish before it gets too cold!
Your water hardness and pH are the same as mine. I bet your fish would do great in my tank. I need to take a look at those guppies!
Yeah you should.
Im starting to breed guppy thanks for knowledge. Love from ph.
Awesome video. Where do you get the levamisol and fenbendezol that you use?
Everything Aquatic
I've been following your tips for a while now and my fish are doing great and breed like crazy. I want to buy some of the panda guppies from you next time I have an empty tank.
Awesome! Great to hear!
Sorry im new to fish and just inherited a tank of guppies, and I have a couple questions.
First what is moam? Ive heard you talk about it in a couple videos but have no clue what it is.
Also, slightly more complicated question... if im starting with a mix of maybe 200 mixed/mutt guppies can i create my own strain from that? The are ranging from a few centimeters to maybe 3/4 of an inch now. My plan was to first seperate them by gender and let them grow a bit. Then rehome the ones i definitely dont want. Then my plan was to seperate them into two tanks putting the golden females and any flashy males including orange color in one tank and the females with some irridescence and and flashy males with no orange into that tank, and then let them start breeding and keep removing any that dont fit my goals. That would also mean i have the other tank to cross back with if I need to in the future. Am I on the right track here or way off?
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Please email me though my website, www.michaelsfishroom.com
I like the panda guppies they look really cool and their one of my favorite guppies next time I get the chance I am going to buy some!
You can use promo code Thankyou10 until sindy for $10 off!
I started using dry Rapashy as fry food. (Heard it from Cory) It's being fed to tiny goldfish fry, and nothing else.. It works like a charm, and is sooooooo easy.
Nice! I have done that too!
Thanks for another video full of good advice I am sorry if I missed it but do you have heaters in these tanks
Nope...it was 51 this morning and so far, everyone is alive!
Hello, Am subscribed and added notifications. What type of camera do you use for filming and taking pictures for website?
Cannon T7i
If you are curious, you can send in some fish poop to certain labs to see if there are parasite issues. Also not very difficult to do on your own if you have a microscope. In many countries you'd need a prescription for dewroming meds, anyway.
Luckily not in mine!
Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for watching!
Nice information however it would be interesting to know roughly how much you spend in raising the fries and the money you make by selling them. This information should help me decide if I should be even try doing. Thank you!
So, you want me to tell you my whole business plan? Think again.
@@MichaelsFishRoom in that case, I would say the title of your video "breeding guppies for profit 2.0" is misleading as you haven't discussed anything about profit.. again that's just my perspective.. anyways good luck mate, I hope you do well with your business! Cheers!
I am doing ok, with hard work and research.
Love your channel! I was wondering if you would ever make a mollie breeding for profit 2.0 because I would like to know your idea on the subject and it would be interesting to know a little more because I just had my first batch of mollie fry in my 20 gallon experimental mollie breeding tank!
You mean like this one I did in December? ruclips.net/video/DAlk-7oqYso/видео.html
Yeah
Thanks Michael for the tips :)
Thanks for watching
That cough, then I’m fine. Lol
LOL
love the intro
Thanks!
Im guessing you like fish in general as well as profit ? Nice video! Do you ship globally?
I do like fish, but I also like money! I only ship to the US.
Fair enough i'm the same
Gr8 info Michael 👍
Do you dose all medications mentioned at the same time for quarantine method?
Also can you explain how you make your medicated fishfood?
How long would batch last and any other information about medicated food storage and feeding?
Yes at the same time. I buy the medicated food from everything aquatic.
@@MichaelsFishRoom
Thank u Michael
Can you say which medicated food you use for quarantine and if they're pellet or flakes from everything aquatic?
CrowntailHalfmoon I don’t use that in QT. But I use the flake with fenbendozole.
@@MichaelsFishRoom
Ok thx so u use that med food as prevention?
Have you tried pellet or 3 in 1 med foods as prevention
Nope, I like the flakes.
I'm going back to breeding Guppies the way I did about 2 years ago. A couple mutt tanks 30's in my case Let them build a colony, Pull similar fish and put 3-5 in 2-3 10 gallon tanks, If the outcome is in the right direction sell the first colony and replace it with the group you liked than repeat. After a while you end up with sort of line bread fish but still just mutts. This is how I ended up with some awesome fish but decided to do it better! Never fix what works it just makes things worse.
Exactly! Sounds like you have some lookers!
Had! I managed to kill just about all of them at once by moving every colony to one tank. The tank wasn't mature in any way so they all developed dropsy and died before I could figure out that I screwed up bad. Crappy live and learn situation.
But learn is the key my friend.
How high in protein is the cobalt ultra guppy food, I'm planning on breeding guppies soon, and should I just buy the food or should I feed them brine shrimp or does it not make a difference in your knowledge?
Live baby brine shrimp?
Yes or the food you suggested
FugitivePeanut Productions I do both. Variety is good.
Ok, I think so as well because live food keep them active, so I'm probably going to get both kinds
FugitivePeanut Productions nice. Also check out Cobalt Smartimia.
I never have enough Super Reds in my life so I ordered 3 from you, along with 3 pairs of guppies. Newest acquisition are five Orange Laser Corys from my LFS this evening. Stoked. Cool vid. Thanks.
I love orange laser corys
Do you try to keep within a certain number of guppies per tank?
Nope....with the amount of plants and my AWC system it’s never an issue.
Little off the subject but how long does it take for the baby bristle nose to grow are they super slow like most other plecos?
What do you feed?
Green beans cucumber sera wafer with wood
E.M. Erythromycin can be purchased off eVilBay. 👍 Ken’s Fish also sells it. 😉
Thanks!
From reading I've done, erythromycin is considered by biologists to be mostly useless in aquarium fish. Here's a quote from a paper I found published by the University of Florida -- "Use of Antibiotics in Ornamental Fish Aquaculture by Roy P. E. Yanong -- Erythromycin is most effective against gram-positive bacteria... [But] The vast majority of bacteria that cause disease in fish are gram-negative, so erythromycin should only be used after culture and sensitivity test results confirm it will be effective." Isn't it better to treat for common diseases, not rare ones, during quarantine? The hobby is filled with unjustified trends. I think erythromycin use during quarantine is one of them. My two and half cents.
Cough....if it works for me...it is right for me.....
Is it working for you? Rare diseases are rare, so how would you know? Erythromycin is popular on RUclips because Cory made it trendy, IMO. I wouldn't be saying so if it weren't for the fact that erythromycin cost over $100 for the large jar. You made a helpful video about bad advice -- like the "1-inch-per-gallon rule," so I thought you'd appreciate help in return. And you should see a doctor about your cough, or a witch doctor... whatever works for you.
Great advice, been breeding my guppies while watching your vids for ages, btw what looks like a deceased guppy bottom right at 11:33
It was....that happens from time to time.....
Yeah of course it does popping out babies every month has gotta take its tole
Awesome video bro!
Thanks!
Great info! love your moss, I can kill that faster then anything else in my tanks lol. Hornworth lives tho so I am good for my guppies sake!
Well at least they are good! Lol
New Sub; Michael-- you KNOW what you're talking about-- and I'm into a similar sort of thing-- But you Rock chief!
Thanks Chris! Welcome
As long as I've bred guppies; I learned a tankful of useful info... from this vid alone-- I'll be watching sir!
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for your advice 👍
Hi, you're welcome!
Would be very interested to inquire or know, the lowest temperatures, you and/or others have been able to raise Guppies at comfortably. In about 12 generations (from fish originating out of Singapore, raised in over 80degF water), I have a few strains that grow comfortably in average 60degF. As to your note on more males generating from warmer water,... I find I seem to produce more males in my colonies by having only 2 adult males to 10 or 20 adult females. The ratio seems to trigger the young into developing more males, which I also remove to another tub or tank just before they mature. This way I consistently keep many more females to males in my breeding colonies, resulting with young maturing into a higher ratio of males (which get separated and sold, growing out in male only tanks). I also find keeping less males in with the colony, that their fins don't get nipped or damaged, I feel the females get tired of being harassed to breed too much and nip back at males, damaging fins, and when there are so many males vying for dominance and breeding they nip each-other more too. Whereas if you keep the temptation(females) away, and raise all male groups they don't worry about hierarchy as much either, and keep their fins nice.... Anyhow, apologies for run-on sentences. Thanks for sharing your insights and I'd be interested what others might think about what I myself see with my colonies. I've got various separate colonies of yellow tuxedos, Magenta genes, black and blues (I bred from Neon blue males, and Feeder guppy females), and some fun Lyretail/Endler type crosses (one I call my Christmas or Clown guppies [Gold body Endler with red, white and green spots and red Lyre tail], and another strain I call Green Arrows[Green and black striping, with green lyre tail]). Cheers and Beers. lol
low 60's for me.
Hey my friend, congratulations you have beautyful fish, do you send to Mexico? And how much
Sorry, I don’t! And thank you
Question..over stocked..what to you is an over stocked 10g fry tank.. I also keep my males and females apart..the female's get huge and co!our up after a month away from the males.. I have two 10g with 2 female's with around 30 fry all different sizes..give or take in one tank...about 15 older fry in the other.. overstocked..???
It all depends on how much water you want to change!
@@MichaelsFishRoom I do a good water change every other day on the tank with a lot of young fry..the other one about every 5 days .. I grow my plant cuttings in the fry tank because they grow so well in there ..it easy to clean the tanks because they are right over the sink.. I used to have sled dogs which trust me are a lot harder to clean up then a few fish.... 😂😂😂😂😂
That it the key to "overstocking" so it sounds like you are OK!
@@MichaelsFishRoom I was also worried about growth..so I placed two young different size fry in my male betta tank ended up a new born was in the net too..thought he would not be long for this world but he is fine..so far everyone is growing at the same rate no matter what size the tank or how many fish.. I have however found the fry born since moving the males out seem larger .. I also noticed that the female who had her last fry a while ago and is no longer carrying does now go after the newborn.. this last few weeks have been interesting I also read a paper on how felmale guppies can slow down the sperm of related males if they have mated with unrelated males..🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Send me that link....I’d be interested in reading that article!
What medicated flake do you use?
I get it from everything aquatic
Michael's Fish Room I’m on their website now. It’s the fenbendazole flakes and the levamisole flakes right?
Hi...is there any possibilities to increase male ratio ....coz in every batch of my purple grass and white tuxedo fries I see only females only two or three males in 30 to 40 fries.....
What is the temp?
@@MichaelsFishRoom 28 to 35 c in india
anand rak the water fluctuates that much?
@@MichaelsFishRoom s... am mentioning lower to higher .....in winter it will be at 28 to 30 ....in summer it crosses above 35 and much more....
how much you selling your java moss for? I have a 55 gal tank & 4- 10 gal tanks that I could use SOME for each tank.
I don’t sell it.
I take it you don't GIVE it away either HUH?
Lol...if you buy fish I can add a small portion for you.
well that all depends on how much you selling your fish for I'm as broke as broke can be on a fixed income with more bills than I have $
Gayle Harrelson sorry to hear
just so that I am 100% clear, do you those those medications all at one time?
Yessir...all at the recommended dosage one time. The. Observe for 7 days....no water changes. If everything is ok, they are good.#anyfriendofscottsisafriemdofmine
Michael's Fish Room I appreciate it and I 100% agree with you on raising your fish in the same type of environment that the average fish owner will end up raising them in. The way I see it if you raise your fish in water that is 100% pristine they will not be able to handle the everyday fish keepers normal water conditions, And when they die they start bad mouthing you to anybody that will listen
You could just remove the cover in the led lights so that you get more light from from the cheap lights you have bought
Ummmm.....what?
May I know the size of the tanks?
No you may not.....just kidding. Which ones?
Thank you for the reply love the video's
Thanks!
Have a great weekend 🤘🏻😎
You too!
When u have a colony of guppies how do you know which guppies you can sell
I don’t understand what you are asking?
When i have an established colony like 10 guppies how do I know which out of the ten guppies to sell
Which ever ones you want.
Maybe some day I will be like you.. 👍👍
I doubt it.
You use aquarium salt in your tanks?
Nope
Do u have a heater
for the room
How do I get my females to warm up to my males
Play Barry White, light some candles and turn the lights off.
Hahahahaha
Lol
where to buy lavamasol and the tenbendesol?
Www.everythingaquatic.com
Thanks
Yup
You’re welcome
How do u cure guppy stress guppy that stay at one side of the tank for a couple of minutes not moving ? Pls tell me its happening now on my 1 fem dumbo king
Sounds like it is ready to go.
@@MichaelsFishRoom do u think ? Well i guess
Jinno Lazaro it’s hard to say.
Quarantining is my weak point as a fish keeper. I suck. 😰
Gotta do it bro......gotta do it.
How to care whitespot??
Are you asking how to care for Ick?
I have over 100 baby guppies of all different ages in between two tanks and I don't know what to do with them....
What do you want to do with them?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I would like to find them new homes because my two tanks are overcrowded.
Olivia Grace do you ship?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I guess I could but I never have before.
I reckon diffrent ages increases aggression an why i think this is I use a 4 foot long 2 .5 high an the young bucks always perk up an attack other older males as they age probably dominance as well .ps I still hate endlers
For guppies?
hi Michael do you ship to the uk
No sorry Mate.
hey one of my tanks guppies arnt dropping fry iam not sure what is happing
Are you sure they are not getting eaten?
im pretty sure they arnt i have lots of hidding spots for them
my 2 months guppy fry keeps on dying.. they swim upside down.
neel help sir
Need more information
@@MichaelsFishRoom my guppies are dying .. I think they are sick (swim bladder) .. please help me how to cure them... 60% of my guppies are already dead.
Ugh....water parameters?
Can I feed em cat kibble.
You can do whatever you want. I wouldn’t, but I’m not you.
Aren't the sneaker males often those with XX chromosomes but auxiliary male sex genes?
Too smart for me to say.....
My male guppys are super dumb they try to breed with each other😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
They could be just fighting, too. lol
Thankyou10
YW100
Can you tell me how to stop breeding guppies...😂😂😂😂😂..hoping this is the last few drops..plus side the 3 young males I put in the community tank are looking wonderful..just added two more.. I will be adding the most colourful fish both male and female..everyday the males change colour. ...😀
Lol...there is no way!
Except those females will continue to drop fry for a few months 😂
That is impossible lol
👍
You like?
@@MichaelsFishRoom yeah lol
"Just a handsome dumb guy with a camera". lol
That's me!
A bit of dirt definitely makes the fish hardier. Same with us humans. People who played outside in the dirt a lot as children have less allergies on average. Now consider that Guppies will go through several generations within a few years and obviously a tank that's not sterile will lead to hardy fish, bred to withstand the conditions they're living in. The ones that can't fight off infections die and don't procreate.
The data is there, the logic is there, everything tells us that keeping fish in sterile conditions is idiotic.
Damn...that is brilliant!
Okay so thankyou is one word but how many words is 10?!
Ummmmm...what? 🤷🏻♂️
@@MichaelsFishRoom idk. Not sure. I mean I can hand feed I suppose but I prefer to keep my hands out of the water when I can. I wash them but young fry have a weaker immune system.
Alexander Gaddis I have no idea what you are talking about😳
@@MichaelsFishRoom oh damn sorry I thought I was responding to a totally different comment! The initial comment was just a dumb pun.
I would like to buy from u but im to far... ( isreal)
