Flycaster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Would you recommend to try a catfish breeding progect for something like bristle nose, or synodotis Petricola? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 catfish pairs have bred in 1ft tanks. I prefer now to use a 2ft or bigger. Syn though i have no idea depends on what you use as the hosts i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycaster Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for your reply. How large do bristlenose have to be to spawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intangcity Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 ive had common bn spawn at 7cm depends on your water conditions feed and territory but when you get fry its a gd idea to change upto 10% of water daily or every two days min itll give you a more success rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expansa Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've bred peppermints repeatedly in a 2ft tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvon Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I had a pair of Albino Bristlenose going crazy in a 30" tank. Monthly spawns for almost 7 months..I have heard a lot of 2ft tanks been used for catfish breeding..For the Petricola, I would use a 3ft tank at least. By the time you add filttration and heating, plus 1-2 breeding tubs for them, you might not have any room for the fish in anything smaller.Goodluck!!

Flycaster Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi, we're trying bronze corydoras. I have a few lads set up with 18" tanks and a few corys in each... Theyre still growing so no spawns yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgroDog Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Have been wondering what is the best sized tanks to use. Looking at setting up a breeding rack i have 4 males and 11 females at 10cm plus. Atm they are in my 3 footer which is divided into 3 sections and running a 2 foot sump. Had 3 batches of fry so far but not much success with survival rate. Reading all the info in the threads my temp is prob too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
