    Breeding tank for CRS

    Want to share with you guys one of my newly set up breeding tank.

    Nothing much- Run by 2 sponge filters and a fan with a PL light.

    Plants are minimal- Just red tiger lotus.

    Temperature achieved for this tank is 26-28 degrees.

    Tank was cycled about a month with snails and tetras. After which few outstanding pieces were selected and introduce into tank.

    Males to females ratio is 3 is to 10. Size of males had to be about the size of females. Reason being they had to be muscular enough to turn the female when doing breeding dance.

    Cheers.

    Nice, how do you keep the ammonia and nitrate down with so little plants?

    For breeding tank is normal. I usually start off with less than 20adults.

    I do not expect a huge population coming in so fast, unless I am able to discover some substance to mass produce them in double quick time.

    So nitrate will be kept low. So is my ammonia.
