jeppry Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 1 male , 6 females works good for me with both yellows and blues. Make sure ya have a good hiding spot for the male to chill out. PVC pipe and terracotta pots work well HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR73 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I breed yellows in a 3ft also. Like "jeppry" said, 1 boy and a few girls - I have 4 girls which would be a minimum I reckon. Plus plenty of caves or pipe for them to hide and rest from the male's chasing. Also one end of the tank that is cleared for a spawning site, I've found this helps too. Any more than one boy and the dominant male gets distracted chasing the competitors rather than makin' with the lovin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
