So I have a 10-shoal of all female rosy barbs . How many males would I need to get them breeding? Will one wear himself out? The tank is a 55G am 0 ni 0 na -10 with a few plants and silica sand small gravel substrate.
Rosy barb breeding
- Thread starter LuxyBlue
- Start date
I'd get 4 males and 6 females to start with but these are very easy to breed. I placed a pair in my pond a few years ago thinking of nothing but the satisfaction of seeing them swim together and months later, I noticed two new rosy barbs at 1.5 inch size swimming around.
I already have 10 females in a shoal there. I want as few boys as I need to get. I could trade in the females but it seems no one buys them as they arent as "pretty" and i love my females, so I don't want to trade them in.
No need to trade them in. Get 4 males. Only downside is you need plenty of plants or they'll eat all the eggs quickly as they drop them.
with 10 females laying eggs I'm more worried about the boys being worn out. lol
honestly i can sell babies to the lfs... I was more worried about my females being happy, than babies.
If someone has kept a sorority and they were happy, I will forgo getting males.
the tank can be some Greek island or something.
