So our hobby has quickly progressed to this stage. We setup our first display tank a year ago and will be trying to breed some CPDs and/or Toucan tetras. (we are not interested at live bearers ATM). This topic started in a different thread (Seachem Buffer) but I'd thought why not create a thread here.
Here's my FTS of the 20G long with a tank divider in it. Right side will be spawning tank. Not looking for a production line so if we get fry, then they will just grow in that side until they can be moved to the left side or in a different tank.
Since they scatter their eggs, I decided to use subwassertang to "carpet" the bottom. I'm think if the eggs stay off the substrate, they might have better chance of hatching? Plus the fry can hide out if I don't remove the parents quickly enough.
My GH and KH are 3, pH is 7.6, TDS is 54, temp 79, and nitrates are not detectable per API kit. My female CPD was fat couple weeks ago but no so much ATM, so will wait until she is ready again. My Toucan tetra is not ready yet, actually not sure if I have a female. May need to grow a bit more. I just got them recently.
Will give another update when it's time to them in the spawning side.
