Just breed from what you got..and keep some of the shortfin to breed back

It's sworttail but works the same. When I try breeding 2 highfin together I normally get very low fry count

Yes its the same, that one reason I stop working with them

Correct, but you want regular fin fish that is already carrying the highfin gene

Those pigs will do their best to get every egg lol

Not sure if you know this but breeding highfin to highfin create dead babies. Any babies that get 2 gene won't make it, so you'll have to breed a highfin to another fish that's not highfin but carry the gene.

Next generation coming along nicely

Pretty cool!!

I wouldn't worry about it, most of all tetra flakes are the same its just a marketing game

Solar panels still need to store the energy into a battery and still need and inverter to convert DC to AC

I have thought of that before when I first bought this setup, just never got around to it

I only use this setup if the power is going to be off for more than 12 hours. I also use this setup for other reason also. I use 2 deep cycle battery connected to an 100w inverter ( doesn't have to be 100w for the fishroom) With that setup I can run my Diaphragm Air Pump 96 LPM plus charge my phone for atleast 7 hours..draining it just down to 50%. Deep cycle battery should only be drain down to 50% to be on the safe side..20% is the lowest itll go before it lose its voltage. I thought I share since I had to bring it out yesterday for the storm

When and how to cull is 100% up to you. Every breeder have their own goal/breeding program. I cull all of my fish at 6month other than my rosy barb. I keep very small number of breeder or back up breeder due to space. So everything else is call culls. There are good culls..fish that are healthy, great conformation, ect... but don't meet my breeding programs or goals. These can be sold or given away. There are bad culls...fish that are unhealthy, bad conformation, ect..unhealthy fish need to be put down, bad conformation fish can be your feeder fish. None of these should leave your system. I don't trust ppls won't breed from them.

I would drop the pairs down to 2 pair. Foursome reason your aquarium looks to clean to be breed fish from lol

How many adults do you have with them?

Thats how I started that family

Roseline shark, that's when I was still talking to the breeder that bred the gold roseline.

I know breeder in Thailand add hormone to get some of the harder species to spawn

I'm abit later to the party but I got to show off some clouds

I'm not 100% sure about that since livebearers breed almost everyday right? I have seen wild shiner spawn and itll trigger other species to join, but most of the time it's a fast stream so whatever is in that water is already downstream

The only time I heard about adding hormones into the water to get fish to spawn is when they are working with a species that is hard to breed or won't breed in aquarium, like roseline shark..

My hardest lesson I learn breeding fish is..knowing when to stop, knowing my limits

Update on him

It's fine..unless you end up with 100s of fry lol White cloud fry don't need much
