    I don't know how you get such great video of your fish, especially the tiny babies, but it's greatly appreciated, thanks for all your hard work sharing your knowledge, and making it so interesting and fun to watch.

    The water level is too high, making it difficult for the male to put back the fell down egg. I think it should only be 3 inches high.

    • @lizxu322
      @lizxu322 7 месяцев назад +2

      Nah I think its perfect height, minimum 4inches. Don't forget water will evaporate quickly and for larger bettas it's really hard to turn and rotate in a small amount of space

      Water too high in tank. Difficult for fries to get oxygen from the bottom and lead to lower survival rate of fries. Recommended to put small plant or 1pc of Indian almond leave in tank will be better for fries

    dude you are cracking me up. I enjoy watching the production value go up. the hike and outing movies are amazing. but most enjoy watching your talent progress as a narrator and dialogist. This is so well done. bordering on playwright and satire. cant imagine where you are gonna take all of this. AND so easy to learn and follow the process. miss hearing and with out further duo....love it when you say baby brine shrimp...i made it a drinking game.

    Great video! Reminds me of when I somewhat accidentally bred my sparkling gourami during quarantine! They were my desktop aquarium & I got to watch the babies grow up to be adults :') One of these days ill edit & post the footage it was a wonderful distraction. Everyone eventually seemed to pass from dwarf gourami iridovirus disease & I haven't kept my fav fish for fear of the disease. I recently adopted my friends betta & she's been a real joy. bubble nests are the cutest things ever imo

  • @dorianrodriguez40
    @dorianrodriguez40 2 дня назад

    I loved your video. Beautiful fish, nice edit, good music. When I breed bettas, I lower the water level even more than you did. This will save Daddy betta some energy that he will definitely need. Also, with a lower water level, the fry will find food easily. As they grow bigger, the water level can be increased slowly. And I feed them with brine shrimp as soon as possible, around the 6th or 7th day from the hatching.

  • @rjv2395
    @rjv2395 11 месяцев назад +3

    tks for the vid. few suggestions that might improve your hatch rate and quantity. 1. I dont us a sponge filter until the fry are free swimming. bettas are use to shallow pools with no flow. two fish in a large tank like this is not a big bioload but the surface motion can interrupt their breeding. 2. I use a large transparent chimney for separating the female that has holes cut in it to allow water exchange between the male and female tanks. the pheremone exchange will improve the clutch size and I think improves the size of the eggs (anecdotal observation). 3. use some almond leaf in the tank if you have. the tannins gets them in the mood. 4 I use yellow plastic lids that let some light pass for a nest site. this mimicks a floating leaf and the color can help the male monitor the health of each egg and dispose of the bad ones. 5. I have had females help the male tend the nest so I check her actions before pulling her. sometimes they work well as a pair and can keep the eggs very well together. so say theat as the parents tend the eggs and roll them in their mouths they also transfer immunities to the eggs. maybe it is just cleaning. but 2 can be better than 1 and for sure dont pull the male until the hatch is done. one last thing, here we can buy up tubes for the sponge filters with slits cut horizontally along the length of the tube. this allow the water to exit through the side of the tube instead of making a large surface disturbance. very good for small fry because they do not get pushed around at the surface and can still feed easily while the bubbler is on.

    I keep coming back to watch again. Today I’m setting up a small tub pond on my back porch to cultivate wild mosquito larva. Also other micro critters indigenous to my area. So I can have live food for conditioning. Feeding fry.

  • @PaulsFishroom
    @PaulsFishroom 11 месяцев назад +1

    Nice camera work. I’ve bred and raised hundreds of fighters over many years and have found best food to start the fry on is infusoria. This only needs to be fed for the first few days and gives the fry a real growth boost before moving them onto artemia. If you haven’t any infusoria you can start them on freshly hatch artemia as soon as they start free swimming. If you check these tiny fry out under a microscope you’ll be amazed at the size of their mouth. Nice pair BTW. The male is a so call galaxy koi because of his iridescent scales…

    Back again, semi successful. After finding eggs, I removed mom. I checked once daily. Each time I lifted the lid, Dads’ bubble nest was smaller😢. Day 3 I didn’t see any eggs left and removed the male. As I was getting ready to break down the tub I spotted the tiniest fry I’ve ever seen. Only 2 confirmed. I will give them a bit of time to see if they grow up enough to move.
    I consider this a win and hope Dad has learned skills for another go at it. Fingers crossed everyone!!😅

    I once saw a video about a betta farm (I think in Thailand) where they raised the young betta in liquor bottles that where arranged like a grid on the floor. They could even stand on the bottles. Anyway, they used a circular saw to cut a hole in the upper part of the bottle, so they could do water changes with a water hose.

    @zacharykunzer2823 11 месяцев назад

    I love these documentary style videos you’ve been creating lately! One question I am left with is how do the male genetics get passed on through to the babies? If she develops her eggs, and he is in charge of hatching them, is there a point where he fertilizes them? Did that happen overnight when you came back the next morning and the eggs where there?
    Thanks for all the info as always!
