Imperial Lapis Tetra Breeding: a preliminary attempt

Описание: Hi everyone,

This video is about my attempt to breed the Imperial Lapis Tetra, scientifically known as Hyphessobrycon sp. 'Imperial Lapis'. Currently, it's becoming one of the most popular tetras in the tetra fish community in my country, even surpassing the cardinal and neon tetras. These are beautiful little fish with striking coloration, especially when they are fully colored up. However, achieving that full coloration is even more challenging than breeding them.

Since these fish are so highly desired by tetra enthusiasts, I decided to take on the challenge of breeding them. The breeding itself has been successful, just as I had hoped. I managed to get a few fry using a similar method to how I breed cardinal tetras.

You can watch the video below to learn how I breed cardinal tetras.

I may try again and see if I can get a larger amount of fry in my next attempt. Please stay tuned.
