Rams are why I got in the hobby in '79. Very informative your Specimen's look Great
Keep making videos about this process. Very informative. Would love to see how and when to move them into an actual tank.
I really do like watching these videos they are very informative 👍👍. I have been watching your videos off and on all day just came across this channel last night. Thank You So Much for sharing all of your knowledge.
You legend ❤ I breed rams and get quite good yields, but you had some simple and obvious tips in here that I hadn’t thought of 👍🏻👌🏻
Thats awesome! Glad to help
Thankyou for Informative Video!!
Thanks for the info, great video!
Love your videos
I strain my brine shrimp through a cheap little round strainer so as not to add salt to the aquariums. I raise and feed shrimp daily. I hold the strainer over a cup and squirt the turkey baster over that and use the strained shrimp immediately. Some tiny ones get through the fine strainer anyway, so I pour the cup back into the original hatchery through the strainer and use those shrimp too.
My best GBR success brood was when I let the parents raise the fry themselves in a dark tank. Both parents did a great job. I finally netted the fry when they were quite old and showing the ram shape.
I just got 3 by mail and no clue they were babies 😆 thank you
Excellent video thanks so much for the great information!
Loved this video!!! Now I am not terrified of one of mine laying any eggs. I did get a surprise when my two MALE mollys started shooting out little babies. I nearly tore the house down trying to get that blue ram, who was in time out in the community tank, outta there!! It was so much fun and now I know what I need to do. Thank you so much
I'm glad! Your welcome
Thanks for watching!
yay! we got sound today! heheh good video. :)
Good informative video mate👍🏻
Another awesome video, full of great 👍 info on this fascinating subject of GBR’s 👍🏴
Thank you! 😁
Good video My G.. Great information for those who wanna try to jump in the Hussle . Shit everything you said u taught me before in last videos.. No luck yet but like you said it's a numbers game, so I can't give up till I get some fry..
great videos so much information
Thank you!
Didn't know Bam Margera switched to breeding German Rams since Ryan Dunn's death. Jk. Great vid👍🤫
Great video
Thanks for sharing, unless I missed it when do you start feeding the babies?
Thank you for making this video. It is helpful.
Your welcome!
Thank you for watching and commenting
Great video , unless I somehow missed it you did not say why the water was blue ? I guess Methylene Blue , if yes what solution do you use ?
hi just wondering if i can let the baby ram stay with their parent all the way? currently my baby is under their dad's care. the mum was being rejected by the dad after 2 days of taking care tgt
Informative vid! Hatching eggs, and rearing the fry in the plastic buckets is an interesting idea....seems to save a lot of space and keeps rearing and maintenance fairly centralized. Thanks for explaining your baby brine shrimp hatching process. When do you start weaning the fry off brine shrimp to dried foods? ANd how do you go about it? Might be a good topic for a future vid. Thanks for posting!
Thank you, around one month gradually
Do you allow a customer pick up for people who live in Pittsburgh?
Hi
I m so Interested in ram Breeding.. I wonder when exactly you move fries from the bowel to a Tank?
I have a question.. do you use a heater at all? Once the eggs are in the container with the air stone, and meth blue, should I add a heater for the eggs?
Do you feed baby brine right from when they hatch? Or do you need smaller foods?
How do you keep the temp in the bowl?
Great video! Have you ever tried letting the parents take care of the fry? I can see why you seperate them though.
Thank you! I have but not with any success, not to say it isn't possible
perhaps you should have more water for your brine like one 1/8 G.!!!, i think also that salting ro water is more efficient also for hatching % !
I really enjoy watching about the babies! Do you rinse the brine shrimp before feeding them?
thank you, no its not needed
excellent but warning ;; i wiil change your air line fixation bye a plastic or wood attach cause yourmetal one by water reaction is almost leaking into th fry container !!
What temperature is their water?
Is keeping so many fish in one tank just a matter of more water changes?
I don’t understand how you keep the fry alive void of biological filtration/a filter? Please explain how that works 🤔
what food favorite blue blue ram fish?
Great video. Thanks a lot. Do you/ have you used vinegar eels?
Thank you. I do not but have used microworms in the past
@@pittsburghpets3759 Have u ever tried raising them on only microworms or they really need bbs to start with for a couple of weeks?
what do you feed them after they become free swimming but before they could be big enough to take baby brine shrimp? Great video btw!
Thank you. I fed newly hatched baby brine shrimp from day one of free swimming, before then they are feeding off their egg sack and don't feed them
Is there any other food that can be feed because for me doing the baby brine shrimp is to much work looking for something easier?
can try crushed dry foods, wont be as successful but try and share if successful
Hi I have a question do you rinse the brine shrimp in fresh water? Before adding it in for the Fry's to eat? Or do you just add it straight it with that salt
I add straight
Hey I have a question for you and by the way I love your videos and keep up the good work ! But my question was is if you sell fish by chance because I live in the Pittsburgh area and me and my dad have been around a lot of different fish and the German blue rams happen to be the favorite and can’t find a lot of good looking ones around and I just wanted to know if you sell any by chance. Thank you !
Hello, and Thank you!
Yes I do, can email me at biancosfish@gmail.com
Ok thank you sir !
Does the salty water you add when you feed the fry not upset the fry?
never had problems, No
Could you use the same water from the tank in the small bowl for the fry or should you use different water. Also what is the best way to keep the bowl the same temperature without a heated room
Depends how clean the tank is, its best to just use new treated water. Can heat a 5-10 gallon tank full of water and then float or sink a jar/bowl in the tank. Allowing the warm water to surround it
Ok sounds good. Thanks!
Been raising some ram fry using containers like you do bit have been having a fair bit of die off within the first few days after hatching. Any idea where I am going wrong? Keeping airstone high in the water line and doing a water change in there daily. They are dying before free swimming stage. Any ideas?
make sure air is not too high and the fry don't get pushed around, no water changes or food until free swimming
Thanks a lot. I have been changing the water when they are still sat at the bottom. Was worried about the meth blue from the egg stage. Think the shock of the water change is getting to them?
@@craigg9144 maybe try smaller water changes
How do you control the temperature of the water?
I heat the room

You go good 👍💞🌈i like is
Do you start feeding them brine shrimp from the time they start to free swim
yes
@@pittsburghpets3759 thanks for the imfo
What about a heater wouldn't the cold water stunt their appetite
worthAmillion i think he heats the room and the new water he puts in matches the existing waters temp
Thank you for sharing 👍
I'm a bit confused with the hatching of bbs.
When do you setup the bbs for 1st and 2nd batches?
Also if u harvest in the morning do you keep bubbling the bbs eggs and feed from that same bottle at night? Also when u put the gbr eggs with pot into white bowl you add methylene blue. Do you change water before eggs hatch or leave them until they hatch? When all eggs are hatched what do you do next? When do you start 1st feeding to newborn fry? Could you do a video of next step from eggs hatching in bowl?
I use a container a day of bbs, so yes I use the same one at night. I don't do water changes until I start feeding. first feeding when fry free swim
@@pittsburghpets3759
Thank you for reply
When do you setup bbs eggs to hatch for 1st and 2nd hatchery?
@@CrowntailHalfmoon Some people really need to learn how to listen!
He uses one batch of brine shrimp morning and night then after the night feed he cleans that bottle and puts new eggs in, the next day he feeds the other batch of bbs while the newer one is hatching then repeat daily. Its not rocket science!
Whats the temperature there?
u never say
78-82
What if my room temperature is not high enough, how can I heat the water ?
just use aquarium heaters
just put the bbs hatchery inside an aquarium.
Excellent video and channel! thanks for all the info!
A couple of questions if you don't mind;
- How often are you changing the water in the containers? and how much approx 50% changes?
- When you pull the eggs and add the meth blue 3 drops; How long until you do the first water change? Will you re-add the meth blue or do your water changes eventually remove it?
- What's the temp of your fish room? I assume that's heating these containers? For a home aquarist would a desk lamp be fine over the top? Or should I get heating pads for under the container?
Cheers!
Thank you!
containers I spot clean every day o 2
half - 3/4 wc twice a week
don't add blue again
no water change till free swim/start feeding
a jar inside of a heated 10 gallon works good
hope that helps and can understand the bullet point answer haha
@@pittsburghpets3759 Legend bud! Everything I needed! Thanks again!
What's the ph of your water?
6.8-7.2
Mf didn’t blink once lmao
So basically you are inbreeding a fish that has already been quite inbred. Got it 👍
