Your Most Succesful Breed Yet?

[Ludwig Venter]

I once bred (around 30) bumblebee gobies.... Personally, I thought this was an achievement.... I also had a haul of (around 2000) Spanner Barbs once..... (in total, I've bred around 38 species), but my best achievement was those Bumblebees.... What do you consider to be your best achievement

i have bred red eared sunfish from my part of the world. i had 40 fry survive to maturity. i was happy for a whole month.

I managed to spawn Ember Tetra's last year, I've started keeping them again in the hope that I can breed them once more, I left the eggs in the tank, removing them would have been impossible as they're like grains of sand, I fed them inforsia and freshly hatched Daphnia, raising them was difficult.

I must also mention that in 1971, I succesfully bred and raised around 300 blue Acara fry, (which at that time was reported to be "Not yet bred in captivity"..... That had my adrennalin rushing, but by todays standards..... they are soooooo easy to breed.

I'd love to get into breeding fish and raising fry, just don't have the space I'm afraid

I have bred a few batches of bristlenoses plecs, which at the time i was well chuffed, also before i managed keyholes and angel cichlids. But my best acheivment by far in my mind is the channa ornatipinnis, which as you said was until they unbred in captivity, i was soooo chuffed and still proud of that, but funny thing is it was the fish that did it and i took the credit

To me Nelly... BN's are not as easy as ppl make them out to be..... I have a couple of pairs out to breed ATM, and if they do..... I will announce this to be my best achievement.....

up until 6 month ago i was pleased with managing to breed guppy's molly's and platys, but then bouught a male and a female kribesis from 2 different stores, 6 weeks later they filled in thier coconut cave entrance up but after a week saw nothing, then they filled thier second coconut entrance up and 7 days later i see them swimming round being very protective then i saw a batch of about 30+ fry under them unfortunately the male got to be too protective and started attacking everything in the tank so moved him to another tank then the female just started to hide so put her in the tank with him which left 10 babies about 5-6mm long now today there 6 fry are left and living with some livebearers and a pair of bolivians +4 bristlenoses and have now reached about 25mm and after close inspection it looks like 2 males and 4 females, so the next project is to breed bolivians, bristlenoses and hopefully keyholes if the are suited to my new tank

I was chuffed with breeding endlers,guppies and cherry shrimp. But now the mrs has allowed me a nice big breeding tank so will hopefully get a chance to try better breeding

I've raised 500 guppies & platys,breeding corys is easy,its the rearing thats hard,my corys - trilineatus,albinos,pandas,pygmys,gold strip have bred,the tri's around 40 to adulthood,pygmys around 30.albinos and bronze offspring biggest acheivement of around 100 to adulthood.And now hoping my 17 panda fry survive,which until these haven't been successful,so that will be my most successful breed yet if they make it.

In my opinion.... Corries are also not too easy...... I have noticed a couple of fry in my one pond, but won't claim fame untill I see more growth..... (harvesting I mean)

Raising 12 of the 13 Lionhead Cichlid youngsters to 8-months old from their parents first batch. Recently I re-introduced "mum" and "dad" to each other after a long seperation following a bad "wife beating" incident when the fry were ~6 weeks old and within days they were "joined at the hip!"

I am proudest of the 54 baby peppered cory's that hatched and grew up in my 1000L pond with huge goldfish/ comets and quite a few dragon fly nymphs. So I think 54 under those conditions are amazing. Then I am also proud of my bristle noses, it is nothing for them to have another 100 odd fry at any time, but it is getting harder to find places to grow all the fry out to sellable size. I would be over the moon if my Khuli loaches ever breed or even better my many spot cory's. My goldfish also breed every year but I don't take credit for that, they do it all themelves with no help from me.

MY old pair of BNs i went on holiday for 2 weeks, came back and the tank was full of fry
