General Meeting: October 12, 2024
Breeding Cichlids can be tricky and many breeders have their own procedures and ideas on how to maximize their success. This month we have a YouTube influencer who has documented his popular fish breeding techniques. Here is the story:
Lowell has had a lifelong fascination with aquatic animals and kept both tropical and native Californian species throughout his childhood. As an adult, an unexpected spawn introduced him to breeding fish; a pursuit that now dominates his free time.
In 2020, Lowell created a YouTube channel (Lowell’s Fish Lab). The channel seeks to document the reproductive behaviors of species available in the aquarium hobby as well as methods that might be used to facilitate successful spawns. In early 2022, he began development of a 3D printable, air-powered enclosure for safely housing larval and juvenile fish. After much testing and revision, the enclosure is now available and in use by fish breeders around the world.
