Great to see your breeding videos again. You've given by far the best explanation of infusoria culturing and use and what to expect to see that I've found. Take care good sir.
Cheers Mark for some great vids! So glad you are back with us again. Going to be trying some Embers myself this year after successfully doing Black Ruby Barbs last year. Infusoria here we go!
Nice one, Mark. I'll try to get mine to spawn now. Just following this along. So cool. I'll let ya know how I get on. Oh, btw, that's an impressive haul of daphnia, especially for this time of year, you must be having some decent weather down there. Lucky you! Cheers fella.
I think I have quite a few, but I'm not 100% sure if thats what they are yet, they look like little tiny balls, some might have a tail on them. I just stripped their tank down the other day as I've decided to downsize a bit, and I thought just through curiosity maybe I'll wait a few days before I completely drain that tank as I might get lucky with some fry, so it has only sunstrate left in, and it's about half full. I know they definitely aren't daphnia or cyclops although I do have both in the tank which could pose a problem for the fry, if indeed that's what they are... I really hope so, as I do want to add to that shoal.
Hi Mark - hope the fry grow and do well!! I have 5 Honey Gourami and 2 of the males are building bubble nests!!! being very protective of them - but nothing else was happening - no activity with any females!!! Then I spotted one male wrapping himself around what I guess was a female a couple of time up near the nest - but no sign of any eggs in the bubbles........so not sure what is going on!!! I cant breed I don't think as I do not have any spare tanks to remove the eggs into or the fry - so I guess the poor little things will just be food for the others - shame!!!!!!!!
Hi Mark, I want to ask you if it´s possible to breed ember tetras similar as pearl danios. I breed my pearl danios, emerald dwarf rasboras and least rasboras in small boxes with moss which I put in their tank. Everyday check if they breed and yes, they breed very well. But I have around 20 ember tetras and I want to know if it´s possible to breed them same way. My system is quite similar as yours in video how to breed pearl danios which you made maybe two years ago. Is it possible to breed them like this? Thank you for your answer. :D
Good Morning Mark :) When i get the eggs, what temperature do they need to hatch. Im very concerned about this. Can i leave them just like that after the spawn?
Hi Mark - if you see this post - could you give me some info on something I saw during a water change and cleaning of one of my tanks??? It was white and like a hair - about 1 inch long - wriggling as it swam!!!!! Made a point of catching it in a net and disposing of it - but of course I do not know if there are any more hiding somewhere!!!!!! Have you any idea what it was and is it a problem for my tank????? Thanks
Hi Mark. Great to see the videos again. Question on the Daphina. I've had 2 buckets full of water (been there for 4 months), with rotting leaves and some algae but never ever seen Daphina. I'm in London. Any reason why? Also been to wetlands and naturally never found any there. Any advice? Trying to condition my fish to spot females in the bench tank. Also will you show how to breed glowlight danios? Keep up the good work!
@@MARKSAQUATICS Hi Mark. Thanks for the reply. Looks like I may have to. I'll check the local ponds again in a months time. Got 2 very fat egg filled Glowlight Tetras in the tetra tank but not ready to try them yet. Starting on the simpler long finned Zebra Danios first ( following your video lol). Any chance you'll be doing a Glowlight danios one too at some stage? (My Glowlight Danios are spawning daily but the eggs hoovered up by all the other tank mates). 😭
I'm curious if you could advise any good places to help lookup guides for breeding other species. I've got some emerald eye raspobra that I'd like to try breed.
If they're not in Mark's list of fish he's already bred (see below) I'm sure he will show you sometime in the near future. He's a very obliging and generous chap. I don't know if I've been whoosed here. :-)
Mark, found this while trying to find the recipe for using Timothy hay for making infusoria . Have plenty of this since I use it for tortoise bedding. Anyway this guy uses a water bottle to dispense the infusoria. see: czcams.com/video/FQTUxiknDyM/video.html For anybody reading there a lot of different methods for raising infusoria .

“Big blue water bat” sounds like something I would say 😂😂
The legend mark Aquatics 👍👍😎

I always have fry from guppy's, but your babies I just love!
Hi Mark…Hi Daphne …😂
Great update Mark thanks for sharing, good luck with the rest of the series 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠
I really like how you show the whole process and show how to make live foods.
👍❤👍
brilliant once again mate, your success rate and explanation is excellent
love your videos, man! keep it up!
Excellent! 🙏🏻

Nice job Mark!
Keep up the good work mark!
Your channel is a slow burn for me, but an indispensable depository OF knowledge.
Amazing 👍 You definitely know what ur doing. 😉 Take care 🙂
Wonderful! Baby fish are the best!
cheers for that video

Can you breed green neon tetra and ember tetras using the peat moss method, like you used for the neon tetras?

How long were the tetras in the breeding tank?
Mark, can I ask with all your tanks etc do u have individual pumps with filtration and heaters can u explain or show that please
Mark, How cold will the Daphnia endure? Did you seed the bucket first?
They endure freezing temperatures. Their present in my water tank all year.
Mine have been outside all winter in the east of England and all looking great plenty of live free food for my fish 🐠
I live in the states. How much would it cost to send two or three of those food holder disks that you made?
Good Morning Mark :)
When i get the eggs, what temperature do they need to hatch.
Im very concerned about this. Can i leave them just like that after the spawn?
Will the filter not suck them in?

Could be detritus worms.
@@MARKSAQUATICS are they dangerous for my fish - found it in the Gourami tank - K

You could always seed your bucket with some shop bought ones.
