Appreciate it… I’m not ready just yet, to try breeding… I still have 2 - 30 gallon longs, built into the set up, I’ve not cleaned out yet, to get them ready to set up ( they would be good breeding tanks ), when they get set up… I have a few 10 gallons going right now, as quarantine, and holding tanks… one has cherry shrimp in it.. . Most are currently holding fish for my 45 gallon I’m setting up right now… it’s currently full of RO water on an inch and a half of black sand… filters and heater arrives next week, so those fish can be moved to their new home “soon”
That tank is going to be South American mid size Cichlids, there is a group of black and albino Cory’s waiting, 3 electric blue Acaras, and a Fire Mouth Cichlid ( I had bought a few from the local shop, only one survived quarantine) … I don’t buy many fish locally… I’ll be adding a small school of Cupid Cichlids, and an angel or two… once that tank is up and running, I’ll have a few running 10 gallon tanks, and can start working on the 1st 30…
I have several fish that I’ve seen spawning in community tanks, I could move to a breeder tank later… but yes, the Hillstream’s need a room temperature tank, there are limited fish that would be good tank mates
