The Breeder Tank I Just Set Up

[blix]

I intend to use this to breed white clouds in. Does it look like it will save 90% of the eggs or better if the parents get hungry? I hear they don't mess with the eggs but you never know.....Got a sponge filter running in there and its a very established foam filter from a snail rearing tank that got little use. Man those two bottom plant mats were expensive items....hope they do the job!!! (of course they are plastic)

I looked at that and thought...wow! Bet that took ages to plant I feel silly now... Looks great though!

I know a lot of people prefer the real plants but its more of a factor of less maintenance for me to use the fake plants. And thank you btw!!

i have a white cloud breeding tank. i just have a few live plants but hoping to make a java moss carpet.

but looking good, you should save pretty much all the eggs. let me know how you get on, mine are yet to lay eggs

Going to be a little while yet---I need the breeding stock to get accustomed to life here first and when I have a better idea of their routine in this department I can start with them....that will give the breeding tank time to become fish-ready. Plus I am still getting the temperatures in all tanks right--gradually lowering the 29 gallon to about 75F I don't want to go too low as there are other fish in there with them right now. I am going to try this at 75F and if I have no luck then I will very gradually lower it more. I just don't want dead cory's and the like ya know?

I can't go much lower than that though as I keep the house at 72F. That would basically mean shutting off all heaters in the tanks as they would be inconsequential then.
