- Hey all my JFR family!!!
SURPRISE!
Another Hump Day Special Video for you all to watch. I was super tired and was procrastinating Uni, so I decided to procrastinate and be productive 💪
Hope you all are doing well!
Please like and subscribe if you haven’t done so already and let me know what you all think of the video. Also, let me know if I can clarify anything for you 😋

Look what popped up after 2 yrs
Still love watching your growout videos. 👍
Anyone interested in keeping and/or breeding rams should stay tuned to your channel. Very well done as always!
Thank you! I really appreciate that🙂
You’ve gotten me into Rams my man 😅 have a 200L tank that was full of endlers but I got a pair of GBR’s after watching your videos and they won’t stop spawning!!!
Finally having a go at raising some with your method.
Really really enjoyed it Justin, man you are almost at Dean's level 😉 keep up the awesome work work kid....
Hahaha thanks 🙏🏼 That means a lot, my friend.
Best vid I've seen in a long time. Your fish are stunning
Thank you! I really appreciate that:)
Your videos are seriously the best for GBR keepers 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for an other awesome video 😊
Glad you think so! That means a lot, Brooke:) How is the pair going with their new spawn?
The quality of this knowledge and information is 2nd to none! I use the same method with my net breeder boxes for my African peacock cichlids , they do put on some great size! Thanks my friend for this very enjoyable presentation well done!!🙂👍🏻
Much appreciated! Thanks for the ongoing support and such kind comments:) Let me know if I can clarify anything further for you from the video.
Justin's Fishroom you covered it quite well my friend, when it comes to rams I think you are the top source 🙂👍🏻
Great video and informative. Thank you for all of your hard work. Such a great job!
Thanks for such a nice comment, Austin! Always have a lot of time for you, my friend:)
SUPER helpful, Justin - Thank you!
All good, Don! Glad you found it helpful:)
So good to have a surprise Wednesday video! ✨🐠
More to come! Thanks Em!!
Justin, WOW!!!! The GBR's grow exponentially in your tanks!!! The process you demonstrated is really easy to follow!!! I'm hoping my GBR's pair off soon, so I can try your grow out method!!! Love the coloration, health and growth of your Rams!!! I am constantly amazed at your production!!!! You're going to need a lot more tanks soon if they keep this up another month!!! LOL breeding with such velocity!!! Great instructional video once again, THANKYOU!!!!
Thank YOU, Eduardo! That is so lovely and I appreciate it a lot. Let me know if I can lend some info in your future breeding ventures. Have a brilliant day/evening!!!
Thanks for another informative video! I appreciate your taking the time...
Of course! This is a pure passion of mine 🙂👍
Great video Jus!! Very informative and gave me something enjoyable to procrastinate my university study with ;)
Hahaha I'm so glad!
You said it because you love rams.... German Blue rams :)
Hahaha yep:)
Great video jus
Glad you enjoyed it! How are your fish going?
👍👍👍
Thank you!
remarkable growth rate! wow! mine is barely getting 'vertical' growth and its been 29 days. what temperature do you use to grow them?
Definitely try this on my betta fry if I have a successful spawn. Thanks man.
All good! Do you have those alien bettas breeding at the moment?
@@JustinsFishRoom I give them a break. 2 Successfull spawns but quite small. Im focusing now on avatar and gold strain bettas.
Come in handy, perfect timing as one of my pairs spawned last night or this morning,
Young fish not the best looking pair I have but it’s a start
That is great news, Gavin! Well, at least you are starting somewhere. You can always improve your line as you go:)
@@JustinsFishRoom yes hopefully I can pick some decent ones out of this batch and mix them with some of ummmmmmm I wonder who has nice looking rams lol🤣🤣
@@gavogr69 Hahaha that sounds great! That is the right breeding attitude with rams. In a crossing between two average individuals you can still get a small proportion of the progeny being a lot better than the parents. Great work on the spawn and send me a message if you need any advice - I will help where I can:)
Thanks for the amazing info, can I ask how you make up the Discus food? Tia
I actually have a video that steps you through the whole process. Go check it out😊👍
Great video. Quick question. Whats the first food you feed when they first start free swimming. I'm guessing they will be to small for bbs. At first?
Hi there, Ronnie! So the first foods you can feed are infusoria, first bites or egg yolk. Either of those are good 👍 😊
How do they get oxygen in the container? Did you have hole on the bottom with the tank? Or do you use bubblers?
Very informative bro! I'm gonna put my first spawn into a 2 foot growout tank in a week or so they're 19days now can I start introducing frozen brine shrimp? They're on strictly bbs rn
Hi there, Brandon! Glad you liked the video:) You can definitely start introducing these guys to frozen BBS. At this age you will have noticed them actively scavenging between feeds. So, its the perfect time! Hope this helps.
Thanks man having alot of success using your methods bro bless
I'm raising some babies right now, do I refrigerate the egg mixture or make it fresh daily
Hi , greetings from Germany. How are your water parameters? carbonate hardness, total hardness, temp , ppm/conductance?
Guten Tag Justin😂😂😂
Hahahaha I was obviously very tired.
Maybe I missed it but how did you get the spawn into the bowl?
Hi Justin when your fry is in your container do you not need filters or air stone I noticed that you didn’t have any in your video 🤔 you are the man David from Northern Ireland 👍🏼
Hi there, David! Welcome all the way from Oz! I do keep an air stone and plants with them, my friend. I don't, however, keep a filter with them as this creates too much water current and their food disappears to rapidly for them to have a chance at eating. I hope this answers your question and let me know if you want me to clarify further.
All good 👍🏼 thanks
@@123swainer All good!
Very nice presentation , what is your opinion on leaving mulm in a fish tank, I sometimes notice single fish grow much larger in a tub with mulm,i noticed it with my outdoor tubs leaving a single platy or a snail which grew much larger. Can you tell me the name of the discus food?
I do believe in mulm but not in the way you are saying. I rather put a lot of substrate in my grow out tanks and let the mulm decompose and feed the beneficial bacteria:) It is a lot more effective and a lot more effective at growing fry in my opinion. The discus food I use is my homemade food. There is a video of me making it so go check it out:)
@@JustinsFishRoom Thanks for the input Justin
@@Rjmjojo All good!
So no filtration on the second moving on tub ?
very informative! hello again, just wanted to ask how to prevent GBR fry from dying, the spawn I had was a hundred and fifty and now down to only a fifty, some fry will stay at the side and wont swim, when they started free swimming they started to die one by one, I've given hardboiled egg yolks and performed 50% water change everyday, just wanted to ask maybe you have some tips on preventing them from dying, it's my first time and I noticed when the lights are on they're not swimming but when I turn off the lights, they started swimming, does lighting have any effect on them? please help, sorry for the long comment thanks as always for the informative video!
Follow my thread! www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/free-swimming-german-blue-ram-fry-dying.499159/
Just read it. Please contact me through Instagram and I will explain to you what might be happening. There are a few things people are saying and giving advice on that aren't necessarily true in my experience:)
Hi there! Thank you for your interesting points.
The short answer is that I have never seen a difference in fry behaviour depending on lighting but this is probably because my light isn't very bright.
You seem to be doing everything else correctly. Do you use community fish tank water for the water changes? Also, do you make sure to clean out the old egg yolk from their container using a pipette? This is crucial to prevent spikes in ammonia.
Great GBR content!! Do you know of any other CZcamsrs making GBR videos as well?
Not that I know of. I think Aquarium coop has a few videos with Dean who breeds GBRs:)
@@JustinsFishRoom Yes, I've seen Dean's. Keep up the great GBR content! Can't get enough of this great fish!
hello, just wanna ask what to do when you saw fry dying on the second day of free swimming? should I remove them and perform a water change after? or no to water change? what are the reasons of dying fry, thanks!
This is an excellent question! I am glad you asked. I would take all the dead fry out and immediately do at least a 50% water change.
The reasons for fry dying include the following:
1. Your water is too cold (fry die from inactivity and not eating)
2. Too much ammonia in the water (Fry die due to their gills becoming burnt by the ammonia in the water)
3. Too much organic matter in the water (Fry get caught in this and die)
4. Fry can die easily with a sudden change in light, temp (from water change, or food etc.)
I hope this helps you and let me know if I can help further:)
How many can you keep in one tank?
Hi what RO system do you use for your Rams and the kh, gh and tds reading? Sorry for simple question but I want to switch to RO water as my tanks running on 7.6 ph and I want to make it right for my Rams, thankyou.
All good! I actually use tap water and I dont bother with the exact measurements :)
Would a piece of Poly-Bio-Filter work to absorb ammonia in a fry container,or would this cause problems?
Might definitely help. I would say the best and most sure thing to do is to do big water changes 🙂👍
Your not sharing how you water change or take a life not losing fry with water changes..I’m always scared to change water with fry of any sort, this is where I don’t do the right thing for fry growth. Another question is when adding ground to powder DRP fish food or micro worm, how do I avoid the accumulation of the foods where some fry may get stuck in etc (if you know what I mean) there often seems to be micro fluffy debri x food remnants in holder.
Do you use a bubbler In this containers or bowls or is it just the bowl of water and no aeration ? Thanks
Hello! How long do you keep the fry with them parents?
Hi there, Gabriel! Welcome to the discussion! I only keep the eggs with the parents until they are done being fertilized by the male. If I leave them any longer they are sure to be eaten by my other community fish.
@@JustinsFishRoom thank you for the answer. But if you keep only the parents in the tank they take care of the fry?
Hello sir..
How much frys u having in 1 spown
Depends from female to female. But my max is probably 800-1000 and minimum could be 300
@@JustinsFishRoom OK thnku sir❤️❤️
What you feed rams ?
Hi there! I feed them my own wet food that I make. If you want to know how to make it I have a video: czcams.com/video/wJ35_HBwi40/video.html that you can go watch:)
How do you keep your Blue Ram from Die I have a 10g tank and I like to get me some but they won't live
Have you tested your water? remember Rams like around 7 and under PH and also temperatures a little higher than alot of fish. ~28c
Hmm…this could be any one or combination of many variables, my friend. What are your water parameters and what is your average temp in that tank?
So I should keep my tank at 78d and my PH at 7.0or6.0
@@Bobby11 I think you've got this one covered. Couldn't agree more with your response, Bobby:)
@@andrescott2794 I would just worry about your pH and the temp as Bobby said above. If your tds is greater than 150ppm then you should try use RO Water:)
Can this tiny fry can eat bbs?
Yes 👍
Did you say dog food you're feeding your fish????
You probably heard me say Discus food👍
Im German. Sorry, but it took me a view times to understand your intro.
Hahaha sorry about that☺️😅
@@JustinsFishRoom No worries. German is a pretty hard and weird language
@@thewalters694 Yeah, I've never learnt German but I do plan on it in the future:)
@@JustinsFishRoom Nice
Friend. Good info. Needs better production. Know what I mean? Camera, scenes, fish images, shots of the tank. Dig?
