First Breeding Tank

One thing I have always wanted to do is have breed...

While chatting on a forum I was given a tank and pretty much everything esle I needed, I have since setup the tank cyceled it and have added the fish...

Apistogramma cacatuoides "Dopple Rot"

This is the story of the fish (with pics)

 

Looking nice there... Well done

 

Thanks bud heres the lay out with out the water and reflections...

 

nice tank i am also going to start breeding apistos .what are the specs of the tank.

 

I'm sure it will happen some day, buddy. Hang in there :blink1:

 

Lol ok I really need to make sure when I type Thanks Gaawie...

@MC1 - Bud the tank is a 40L tank 45 x 30 x 30... I got it from a guy who breeds for a living and mainly Apistos, The substrate is black gravel and there are plenty of plants, the Rocks and drift wood is used to make caves as they hide - A LOT.

I was watching my female last night, she has started digging and I believe thats all part of the prep...

Oh and did I mention Speedy the apple Snail for keeping the tank nice and Clean.

 

Speedy might also keep the tank clean off eggs, so check that evil snail

 

I will have to look into that VIS I hope not????

 

So would a 50litre be ok for them to breed in and to have the fry in or would a 100litre be better..??

 

50L should be cool bud 100L would be better, but I guess it all depends on how big you want to take it.
I dint know really this my first breeding atempt so I am as new to this ad you are.

Let's see and learn together I will try and find out some more info for you anything else you would like to know?

 

how big do they grow when fully mature

thanks for the help
