Pet Fish & Aquarium Care Tips : How to Breed Livebearing Tropical Fish

[Vibsx2000]

I acsidently bred 2 lyre tail mollies

[breyershowstar]

i asked my local pet stores if filters were required for molly fry and they said no you just have to maintain a temp of 78 degreesfilters are only required when the fry are big enough to be moved into a larger tank with adult fish

[DrTacoo0o]

i didnt learn anything from this vid.... cuz the guy is kinda hot...

[KJstables]

What if you don't have a sponge filter? Can you just turn the filter down low?

[Pop12646Okami]

@KJstables well, you could always put some pantyhose over the intake tube, but if your filter has a flow control valve, then you can try lowering the suction. It still may be too strong though.

[tehillahpsalmist]

FAIL! one female and one female of any given species

[chacoal]

how do u breed river carp and goldfish and koi?

[200smiley]

nvm i found out she sick!

[200smiley]

you think she just misses him? you think i need to get a new molly to breed? i also have four tetras: two black neons and two pritellas i think they are called. i am so sorry you had to read my two comments on one subject but i wanted to make sure i got everything in. plz awnser my question and any help at all is appreciated.

[200smiley]

i have been looking at and watching my fish and it looks like my male molly is trying to breed with my female betta and she is getting relly stressed out. he wont even go near my female molly which i purposley want him to breed with. i have two female bettas in this tank. should i remove them? is there anything i can do about it? is my female molly maybe bothering him? i have bred mollies before with the same female but this is a different male. the previous male died about 2 months ago.

[tropix579]

we dont care about your name or where you work you puffy haired numpty

[JDCredible]

U know some informations true but some isn't but I agree with the floating plants or plants that r in the gravel it worked out for me I have 13 females and 3 males and each had almost 20 but some got eaten by my dragon fish while they were still on the ground

[fusionfallx]

My dad is now installing a pond on our front yard and where also adding koi fish to it like what are the chances of me getting guppies

[soawsomestuff]

@fusionfallx well you will most lickley get fri but it mostly depends on how many fish are in the pond. the other fish may eat the fri. you should expect fri in about a month after you get the FULL GROWN fish. also you can ask your local fish store for a mated pair.

[fishyollie]

Hey can some one tell me what you can do with all the fish you get? Thanks :)

[1Rockyboxer1]

@fishyollie sell them, keep them, and give them away to family

[martyb0y1690]

lmao anybody who has a tank could work out what he said for themself

[GreatDane1011]

[mitchcool30]

thanks for some reason im destant to have fry fish i dont have mollys yet but im planning to get them

[xbox360ishcool]

do fish HAVE TO BE Breeded or something

[igobyjoey]

@xbox360ishcool Something can't make babies if it was never born, so yes, if you want to breed guppies or any livebearing fish, they have to exist.

[rocketmaster3]

how can i tell if my zebra danio fish is pregnet or not

[TheZeeberDonkey]

The parents *MAY* cannibalize their young.

[yoyohoes]

[jumper098123]

Hello everyone i will answer any questions you may have on pet information in less than 1 day just email me.I also do request videos. subscribe to me if you want.Thanks.

[crotalis1]

please we need help our female mollies die as soon as they have babies. they seem fat and healthy until they have babies and then they die. is this normal?

[worshipshrimp]

No its not normal but its not unheard of. Are the mollies who die related. If so try getting some more that arent because it might just be something genetic.

[crotalis1]

dont think they are related but they get really large. do you think they are too old when we get them.

[worshipshrimp]

What size were they when you got them p.s check out mine on my page

[mattharden1982]

sometimes live bearing fish die after giving birth sue to stress

[jacobyshaddixgirl]

Hey thanks for your videos! :) I tried to mate my bettas unsuccessfully so now I got platies.

[548ky1uv50k48f0r1if3]

this is my first tropical fish tank and i was wondering how do u clean your fish tank.

[AweSomo84]

Hello I always do a 25% water change a week but it's a highly planted tank! Just for the algae for the baby fish etc and they take down the heavy metals out of the water, just check out my video's.

[trooperx666]

buy some bottum feeders and algae eaters and ur set :D all u need to do is replace filters and ur set

[spindalis79]

The definitive "Fishstick!"

[zauzakeking]

nc vid i am just starting to breed and already had one batch but small 4 the others died for those of u it take about 2 days for fry to take on color and start shaping usually 7 days is when they have finished

[TheMrHarryShow]

one of my guppies has just had fry in a net breeder i have 2 questions to ask about it how do stop the mother eating the fry in the net breeder and how do you know when the mother has finished breeding for the day gd vid

[cichlidkeeper89]

you need to take the mother guppy out.

that is the only way to stop her from eating the fry.

you can buy a special breeder net for the guppies. when the mother has the babies, the fry drop through a slot in the bottom of the breeder, and the mother cant get them.

[OptimousDX]

i dont do tht and the fry survive becuase i have alog in their and its dark in their and lots of places to hide

[EllisYates]

ive got the one were the mother cant eat the fry but it doesnt work the fry swim up through the slots but still its good

[TheSandyBreezy]

most video are too basic and the information given are known by most beginner aldready.

[begzodiscool]

@TheSandyBreezy well i am a beginner i this info is very valuable

[1Rockyboxer1]

@begzodiscool wouldn't trust this information, most of them are lies and just hired to talk.

[ctenophor]

as apposed to live bearing sub-tropical fish, much much harder to breed

[hellomedude]

arent all pets but dogs banned in california?

[DavidFrom209]

NOOO!! lol i have about 20 birds, 4 dogs, 6 fish, and a goat lol

[Mademejointowatch]

Lol, where'd you get that from? I think someones been fucking with you

[bibbling9000]

u can buy a box called a hachary that floats in your tank and when your fish is a few days due put it in the hachary and when she drops the fry will fall through a gap to a lower section of the hachary then just turf the parent out of the hachary and feed the fry in that for about two weeks then they are ready to realese in to you tank and just keep an eye on them and if they get bullyed put them in the hachary for a nother week .

[angelicXwolfXgirl]

you can feed baby guppies regular fish food just have to grind it up a lot, they will also eat the leftovers the adults leave behind

[lightfox831]

u coud smash regul food so ill be smaller to feed them

[hollynmel]

I thought that if you put those plants into the tank, it takes all the air out of the water, and it kills your fish, because when i put one of those in with my tetras, it killed three of them so i took it out they started behaving naturally again. Am i right?

[Zouckubaz]

If you give the plant the right "needs" it will be benefitial to the fish, it holds good bacteria, gives the fish some food, its a natural form of filtration and it gives the water oxygen. I dont see how a plant made your tetras demented..

[ctenophor]

plants add oxygen and subtract co2 + detrimetnal nutrients. something other than the plants killed your tetras, my friend, unless you were smacking the fish with the plants.

[mad4mints]

also try getting the fry out into one section of the tank and put a divider inbetween the fry and parents adults

[mad4mints]

what you could do is try to take adults out,dont no about the food though

[mad4mints]

i breed a lot of live bearing fish

[fishybuisness123]

Hi. I have lots of trouble with my livebearers i wonder if you could help me. I had 2 sunset platies in a 40 gallon tank but when they gave birth the parents ate all the fry. I couldnt get the fry out because the tank is to big and they were to fast. Is there any food that will distract the platties and hopefully stop them eating the fry? thanks

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Put in more plants, especially big plants up to the surface. This makes it harder to the adults to find the small fries. The adults are eating anything fitting their mouths. So it is only a matter of luck if the fries can hide somewhere before they end in the stomanch of their relatives.

[ctenophor]

i like using different sized gravel, starting small, and ending large, marble and river stone sized.

this way, when the larvae swim down( which is what most do) they are able to hide in a place where it is impossible for the adults to get at them.

i got this idea when i saw a baby guppy living in the undergravel plate (not in use, just their) at school. it had to swim through the gaps of the gravel at the sideof the tank, and those were realy small, the next day i saw 5 more.

[linaniXD]

plants and things for baby hiding spots help them alot if you wish to keep the maximum number of fry alive put your female in a baby saver a few days b4 she births or the second you know shes going to birth because thats the only way to garentee their survival.

[petraiserdude26]

Chloramine?
