being able my secret up to sixth generation
hi everybody welcome again to another episode of fishkeeping jamaica welcome to my channel you
might be saying what a topic um where does this guy get this topic from okay all right so we're
talking about breeding of cichlids building of emboomer secrets in particular okay so currently
you are looking at my breeding uh tub for my emboomer yellow yellow lab emboluma
secrets right uh yes they have some amount of aggression but i don't think they are as much as
aggressive as the aratos nor the the monsoon nevertheless uh let's get into the meat of the
mata today we're talking about um breeding your emboomer secret up to the sixth generation now
these are my breeding uh building circle in the top and they have actually given me over 30
30 plus uh fries right and i have opted to remove the fries as soon as i have actually
identified them and i've actually placed them elsewhere and there's a reason for that
um based on science and research right uh it is advised that you should actually um have your
emblem cichlids in particular uh breed well they can breed up to six times amongst themselves
meaning like um for example you might have let's say you have a spawn off of
20 uh embalmer cichlids right and that 20 actually grew up to be large uh fish they can build amongst
themselves for about six times after the sixth time uh you should actually interchange them with
another stack of uh embalmer cichlid yellow lab laboratories are similar types in gene uh and
place them elsewhere because now the because the gene pool is so similar um breeding interbreeding
for prolonged period of time actually what it does it dilutes the gene so therefore the the
the the embolome will no longer be genetically genetically um call it no genetically uh
vibrant as a as a yellow lab right it's as if the the gene is actually being broken down so so as
to maintain the quality of the yellow lab maintain that yellow lab um you know you can get the actual
money's worth oh by the way i am speaking from a breeder's perspective now if you are uh like a
novice fish keeper interested in yellow because of its color and you're not really interested
in breeding well you can still listen but uh this video is primarily for persons who are interested
in breeding them right so you would actually move them around and uh taking stock as to
how many times they have actually bred and you know having a chart having everything um
written down so as to ensure that the gene pool within your stock within your breeding stock is
maintained and that you get um bright yellow um here are labs right and sometimes you might see
some uh yellow lab they're looking pale yellow not bright yellow and that's primarily because um
they i think they might be um interbreeding them meaning like brothers and sisters breeding them
for a prolonged period of time thus that the gene kind of loses lose its arm you know it's it's
it's it's focus should i say focus but the gene is being lost let's put that down right okay so here
is my well here are here are my uh my the babies the 30 babies now they're hiding in the rock
because the gopro is there and they're wondering what is that they are slowly coming out and if you
look carefully at these fish you'll realize that they are of varied size that's because the parent
um did not have all 30 of them one time it was like uh four three five nine and and so to speak
and it gradually built up to 30 something right um in addition to the yellow labs you might see
some blue little dirty things running or should i say swimming in the water these are some uh
uh mengano i i placed them into this store because i wanted to separate them from the parent
um i think i might start a juvenile pond with them in the future but i'm waiting on
more fries to be released by the parent so that will take some time okay
so up to the sixth generation you can interbreed your yellow labs your emboomer cichlid i'm not
sure about um other secrets but i'm sure about um emboma cichlids right also uh once
they start breeding the hardest thing for mbuma um breeders is to actually get them to start to breed
get them to actually the male and the female kind of going together to actually do the
procreation process that's the hardest part once they have actually started to do that
they will give you babies and um everything will work out fine you are now facing the
responsibility of merging that that space so as to ensure that too much interviewing doesn't occur
if it means that you're gonna have to go out and purchase um some yellow labs male and female
from somewhere else so as to intermix them with the ones that you have been breeding that would
be good because what that does is change the genes and ensure that the quality gene that
you are actually um securing within your you know aquatic space is maintained for a prolonged period
now once the emblem of secular have actually start to breed right practically every six seven weeks
you should see some amount of babies swimming in the space right and uh this keeps you busy
now if you're smart you would actually catch the babies or yeah you actually need the babies out
i'm placed into a space wherein it doesn't have any work work this gives them the freedom although
they like to hide let's give them the freedom of actually going for the feed as they wish and they
go a little faster as soon as they become like one inch one and a half inch you can probably
put in some rock work uh if you're a trader like myself it's gonna be difficult sometimes when
someone might say that they want three or four or a dozen and you're gonna have to dig up the
entire um rock work so as to um get stuck for your customer but such as business right i can't run
away from that and if you don't put the work in there you're going to end up um these fish
goes a little bit larger you're gonna end up with some dead fish because the aggression is gonna be
building up when they're seeing each other they're unable to run away from each other thus they are
picking at each other and the weaker ones will actually succumb to their stress and they will die
i hope that this video was instructive have a wonderful day guys peace out catch you next time
