bassoonboy Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi, I'd go for bare bottom. Sponge filter and power head for current across cave entrance but into cave. Some caves, Matthew's are awesome. Bog wood. I've got my breeders on a rack with a garbage bag over the front of the tank so they do not get disturbed, I never see them doing "IT" but they're not shy under the doona. Bare bottom means you can feed them up and keep the tank really clean easily. I do a 10 - 20 percent water change everyday in my 2 footers, the smaller the tank the more work to keep the water quality excellent.

bassoonboy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi, My breeder tanks are 2ft x 18inch deep x 14 high and hold 100 litres approx. 30L sounds scarey with regard to maintaining water quality and consistency especially if there are 60 - 100 fry munching 24/7. good luck cheers, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
