question to all

[mrcrabbs]

As some of you guys know im thinking of starting to breed. I realized it would be cheaper to just buy a new tank, but I found a 10gallon for 40$ or a 20 for 80$ that has a flourecent hood and the other has the other kind wich isnt as good. Would u spend the extra 20$ or get the cheaper one. They both have all the parts and stuff.

Waste that 20!!! The bigger the tank the better the breeding goes. What are you gonna breed?

According to my calculator, that's a $40 difference! If it were me, I'd go with the larger tank with the flourescent light.

I dont know yet. What would you reccomend? I dont have a lot of money.

 

[Dwarfs]

I dunno, Jewel cichlids, or any kind of dwarf cichlids. I have bred jewels

 

[mrcrabbs]

They could be bred in a 20 gallon? And im looking to sell so could I get anyhting for them?

 

[Dwarfs]

I bred jewels in a 20 long and you could definately do the same with dwarfs

Sounds like a good Question for the Cichlidmaster...

What part of what country do you reside in? I know of a great deal if you're not too far away from philadelphia PA

Go for the 20L.
Its a bigger tank and it has flourecent lighting. Im not a fan of incandecent lighting.

Im in the west coast. i was thinking of the 20 gallon even though it is a bit more, but I figure by the time I convince my dad to let me get the tank ill have enough money lol

im thinking of breeding oscars.

Add another 100g to that 20 and your somewhere nearer the right size tank for breeding oscars, you couldnt even keep a single oscar in a 20 let alone a breeding pair.

Id suggest starting with something small an easy like kribensis.

 

[freshmike]

Go for the 20.

mrcrabbs i TOTALLY AGREE with cfc. i understand your enthusiasm to want to breed fish but oscars need a lot of room. definitely do some research before you try to start the process this will help you and protect the fish you are trying to raise
