    These guys are really satisfying to breed. We had a group of ~12 and they'd spawn on mops, eggs almost daily 8-10 eggs. Then you could just keep collecting the mops and putting them into hatch.

    Nick love your breeding videos. I have one request. It would be more fun to see the breeding process from start to finish. Like how you had shown us earlier with neon tetras and others.

      Agree. Full breeding process should be more fun to watch. But it's reasonable to cut off a little bit if the starting processes are similar.

    I am truly happy for you enjoying this hobby. I am older now but distinctly remember when rainbows were available in the US. I remember when the Neons first were available. They looked like a custom Corvette paint job ! My question for you if you know is how come the Cato River rainbows haven't made it here until just recently. The ones I have show the blues and purples in their fins. The first pic I ever seen were of fish with yellow in the fins? Thanks and enjoy your endeavors.

    I'd suggest getting some Congo Tetras and Buenos Aires tetras. I just got my first three congo tetras a few days ago and they were only about 3/4s of an inch long and they are already over an inch now and already are getting beautiful colors on them. Our Buenos Aires tetras we've had over a year now and they're over 3 inches long and really cool fish. I love how all our tetras school together no matter what type they are.. except the neons, they mostly just stick to the bottom of the tank until feeding time.

    • @sarahroper647
      @sarahroper647 Před rokem +1

      I think yes, you could do that, but moving the mop too much could displace the eggs out of the mop and into the water. If you moved the mop and kept the fish in the tank, the fish would eat the eggs that were displaced during the moving of the mop. Moving the fish is the better option to ensure all the eggs are left untouched and are not vulnerable to the fish!

    • @je1902
      @je1902 Před rokem +2

      You make a good point, Sarah. But aren’t rainbowfish eggs sticky and will most likely be “glued” to the mops? If there was loose eggs that weren’t on the spawning mop, I’m sure it would be an insignificant amount compare to the ones on the mop itself. Especially since he has multiple colonies going at the same time. Is the time it takes to catch and move the fish worth more than the few eggs that you may lose if you were to leave the fish in the same tank and to just retrieve the mops into a new tank?
      You could even hatch out multiple mops of the same species in the same tank to save space.
      I’m sure this catch and move method will work better for other species like corydoras where they will spawn literally everywhere around the tank and will take longer to collect the eggs than to catch the fish out.
      With that said, both methods will work just fine. We’re all here to learn and to discover different methods of breeding these beautiful fish.
