Trilineatus Some Questions

[§tudz]

Hi,


As I said yesterday my Trilineatus Finally Spawned. but alot of the eggs got eaten buy the danios.

I am thinking of setting up a tank for them, I have a spare 15gallon sat on my floor, but I have no heater.
My room stays very warm due to the other 5 tanks in it, and my radiator is broken, but my room never gets cold

I want to try and get them to spawn again within the next few months, and try to raise the fry (I am trying to raise the 20 eggs I saved yesterday)

I know bronze dont require a heater, but would Trilineatus be ok?
I think I will plant the tank with a couple of the swords form the current tank, and also add my bulldog plec, as he never bothered eating the bronze's eggs.

if not, I may just bin my rainbow snakehead tank, and put them in their as that is heated, but I'll need to change the water as its gone brown form the tannins from the mopani wood (and I soaked it for a month before it went in the tank)

So what are your views?

To be honest, for the last 3 months all my heaters have been turned off, as the water was in fact warmer than I wanted it. Is your tank positioned somewhere where it's likely to recieve good amounts of sunglight each day?

If so, I can't see a temperature for now with your water temperature. However, within the next month or so (as UK temps drop) you will require a heater.

the tanks directly in viw of sunlight, for obvious reasons.
I've not had a working heater in my room since late last year and its SO hot in here, coz of the computers and the tnaks. the heaters rarely engage lol.

I'll wait for a while any way, see what ahppens with these eggs. and then I think I'll sort out a tank then for the Trilineatus.
