ZebraCat Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I recently bought a Jebo 380 (35litres) and have put in there 1 male/female peppermint in hope that they will breed. The fish are a little over 2 years old and were originally in a 2 footer with 4 other peps. I recently found that eggs kept getting kicked out so thats why i am trying to split them up. Wondering if this new tank will be big enough for them to breed in? no substrate, a piece of drfitwood and a small terracotta pot with a small entrance is all that is in there. the tank looks like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SALE-JEBO-R338-FISH...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeWs Fish Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Dont worry about the eggs getting kicked out..... just put an airstone in a fry saver with them in a few days they will hatch.... my thought are if they were breeding and happy, better off leaving them....

binda Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Personally, I think you've done the right thing by giving the male and female thier own tank. I find that when there are more than one male in a tank, it causes stress to all and the males will be so busy competing, they are not concentrating on the breeding. Good luck!

Boots n all Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 That is a small tank, but hey if it works. Try it and see how you go, make sure you do plenty of water changes once the fry hatch that will put a load on a system that size. Do you have any other females? the males do like to keep busy and are ready spawn as soon as the fry leave the nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZebraCat Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks for the replies guys, will leave it as it is and see how they go. I have 3 males and 3 females at the moment. 2 fish in the jebo and 4 in the 2 footer. i am concentrating my efforts on the 2 footer thats prob a better set, i just wanted to downsize the colony a little but hence the jebo.
