White Cloud Minnow male with 2 female's

[sammytheshark1]

what i feed my white clouds are goldfish pellets. they get exercise breaking the pellets down

[seeyou414]

@sammytheshark1 Mine like the cichlid pellets

[sammytheshark1]

@seeyou414 cool

[JAStewart]

How did you make them gravid?

[seeyou414]

@JAStewart Just feed them that's all I do the more they eat the bigger they get

[JAStewart]

@seeyou414

Feeding them anything in particular like Bloodworm or just flakes? Did you separate them to prepare them for breeding?

[seeyou414]

@JAStewart I just use flake foods live or dired food I dont use only maybe every 3 months I give them live or dried foods like shrimp or blood worms. Any flake foods

[songudah]

does your white cloud have greenish colour in the tips of their fins?

[seeyou414]

@songudah Yes just a little it is normal

[songudah]

@seeyou414 hahaha I was a little worried there thanks

[juanxzombie]

those are really white clouds??? wow those look like my "unknown" fish, now i know what they are now :]

[seeyou414]

@juanxzombie Yes they are

[empoleongirl1]

My minnows are at least two inches long. I think one of them might be pregnant how can I tell?

[seeyou414]

@empoleongirl1 Males will always be very slim and females fat even when very young females will have a very small belly and what I also noticed with mine is that females  will be bigger than males

[PurpleNeonRain]

How long does it take for the eggs to hatch?

[seeyou414]

@PurpleNeonRain It takes about 24 to 48 hrs or 1 to 2 days sometimes even up to 3 days.

hey ,just wondering,i bought 6 wcmm 2 leopard danios and a live plant i cant remember the name of and a week later ive noticed that there are about snails in the tank,not that i dont want them but just wondering how they may have got there

[seeyou414]

They got there when you bought your live plants.Those snails were on your plant and got a free ride to your tank.

[budgiehd]

thanks fr the fast reply,do you have any tips on caring for them?do they eat algea?

[seeyou414]

Some like algea more than others. Dont over feed, Change the water every week or every 2 weeks. Many change 25 % of the water I dont. I clean the entire tank once a month and only clean it if it get dirty that month.

[9912699125]

@seeyou414 u mean u change 100 percent of de water?

[seeyou414]

@9912699125 Yes I have been doing it for many years

[9912699125]

@seeyou414 i thought u should not as they could die due to too much of change in water?do you need a air pump for these fishes?

[seeyou414]

@9912699125 Yes you do need a air pump or filter for these fish just as you would for the other fish. I have never lost a fish by doing a water change like I do it. The only time I add water is when the water level drops but I also dont add any medication when pooring new water. I will try to make a video and explaine everything on how I breed and keep my fish and other things.

[9912699125]

@seeyou414 tkx,u mean u nvr lost fish bfore,i lost many,many,i dint know how to take care of them or is it because they are too fragile,i lost many fish,only time when i had the longest lived fish in my record,it is the guppies caught in a pond,they all survived,i think they are super hardly due to the harsh conditions of the pond,filter broken and with greenwater.......how do you do tat?(not having dead fish)

[seeyou414]

@9912699125 I have lost many fish because they were sick,old, or from other things. Some fish are sometimes harder to keep then others and many do better than other when you do a water change. But I have never while doing an entire water in my tank have never lost any fish not even I had saltwater fish did I loose any fish.

[9912699125]

@seeyou414 oh......

[hannahluvsanimals2]

cool !

I have a question, how can you tell if they are male/female?

[seeyou414]

Males will always be slimmer and females will be fat and get fatter when full of eggs

[hannahluvsanimals2]

ohh cool, thanks a lot, you really helped :) x

[seeyou414]

You're welcome

[dessieb123]

@hannahluvsanimals2 the females arent as colourful as the males

[hiddenThecakeisalie]

So what do you do to insure they're safe? You put them in a tank, what for them to do their business, and keep the parents in their with the babies until your able to put the babies in a bigger tank?

[seeyou414]

I put the male and female in one of my breeding tanks which includes plants and marbles. I remove both the female and male after they finish breeding. That way they dont eat the eggs or fry. I leave the babies in the tank untill they are big enough to be with the adults.

[dessieb123]

@seeyou414 the parents dont eat the egse or fry i have been told!!!

[seeyou414]

@dessieb123 Oh yes they do but if other people tell you that they dont well then that will be your choice and wish you luck.

[Aceltu]

Thats beautiful. Upload the video with babies when they will be out. I'll be waiting!

[seeyou414]

I will upload the babies.

[seeyou414]

I hope they will have alot of eggs. They have not started to breed but I know it will be soon before they start to breed.

[oscarfight]

wow! they must have alots babies!

[seeyou414]

Yes they are mine and in breeding tank. Thank you for watching and for comment.
