I’m trying to set up a breeding tank (For Dwarf Cichlids). I’ve read in numerous articles that their basic is setup consists of the following:
Sponge Filter
Heater
Bare Bottom Tank
Some Slate
Pots
Java Moss and/or other plants
My questions, “Why is the Bare Bottom Necessary or preferred in a Breeding Tank?”
I’m also thinking of using my Breeding Tank for my Spare Low Light Plants to just grow out since my main tank has too much lighting now. Some substrate would help out my plants, but growing my plants is not my main priority. Breeding is. So if having a “Bare Bottom” Tank helps in breeding, a “Bare Bottom” is what I’m going to go with.
All the other elements specified above are already in my breeding tank.
