    I started out inheriting a 29 gallon tank with an old deformed western Australian Rainbowfish and three enormous Chinese algae eaters.
    I dove in researching the rainbow and CAE care,bought a 90 gallon,and it’s been an addiction since.
    I now have 12 species of Rainbowfish,plecos,endlers,ramshorn snails and 8 tanks.
    I breed the rainbows for fun,and rehome the babies as they grow.
    I should probably learn how to do this for some sort of profit.
    I enjoy it so much,there’s always more to learn,and watching babies grow from tiny little eggs to active,healthy,curious and beautiful fish just lights me up.
    I’m in Canada,and I’d be over the moon to be able to live in Australia and see some of my beloved species in their natural habitat(which I understand is increasingly at risk).
    Loving your videos!

      @fab-freshaquaponicbiospher6335 Před rokem

      Selling does not work.. Local stores won't buy it from you.. Its like a closed business mafia.. They won't encourage hobbyists to become breeders.. They just say yes, I'll let you know when I need it.. And then never call back..
      .
      And even on Facebook and social media if you are in some group.. It will depend on how far you are able to ship them at retail level.. No wholesale there either..
      .
      If you are from big city then you can ship easily in city limits.. But then the constraint is the kind of city you live in.. How rich the people are, how big city is and what is popular opinion on keeping fishes..

    Lol sitting here with 5 Tanks, mini pond and several smaller glas containers after starting with 1 mixed tank a year back looking for ways to optimize for breeding for profits having basically most of the stuff you mentioned. guppies, red and blue shrimp and tons of snails thinking about putting plecos in the 200L. I kinda became addicted to glas containers but makes fun. Great video on breeding fish for Profit for Starters. Fun to see so many similar ways and also learn from your experience. And yes more containers make it easier in the longrun but 1 is a good start you can achieve a lot from if combined well. Thanks

    Shrimp are a bit difficult to bread with other fish in the tank. They work well with snails, and perhaps Neon Tetras, but basically, if a fish can fit a shrimp in it's mouth it will eat it, so the larger shrimp will survive but most of the babies will be eaten. This especially happens if the other fish in the tank figure out that there are baby shrimp in the tank. Once they've had a taste for baby shrimp, they will hunt them :-(

    I can also think of raising blood worms in enclosed system where the flies are born and breed and lay eggs back again and you can harvest regularly from the tank. However you need to connect the fish tank with another enclosed tank as the blood worms eat the fish waste and grow on the organic matter.
