Post your breeding projects

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
With egg scatters like Danio's you will need a suspended floor for the eggs to fall through. Even a suspended basket to put the adults in will work. they spawn all the time you just need to protect the eggs from them.

Species: angelfish

How many: 1 breeding pair (if thats what that means)

How long trying: about 8 months

Any successful spawns already: no but I'm optimistic about current spawn

Set up: 20 gallon, 1 sponge filter and a an adjustable bubbler

Any triggers/other information : doing frequent water changes every other day (hadn't been doing until now). also they recently took a serious temp drop went from 80 to 68, totally my fault, I was cleaning off the heater buildup
the babies are growing MUCH faster with all the water changes

You could also spawn them successfully on marble or river pebbles. very easy, just have to make sure to remove the adults after spawning, as the adults are as mentioned above, cannibalistic towards their offspring.[/QUOTE]
