Gardneri Kilifish

[Stohz]

Just purchased 3 of these today for my 10 gallon planted tank. I got (I'm assuming 1 male, and 2 females). I'm hoping that they will breed however very unlikely. I do have a lot of cover and hiding spots for them to feel comfortable with my several plants.

My question is, how likely will it be that these fish will breed and produce?

Thanks.

they may be a little cramped in a 10g, but if you have floating plants or a lot of java moss, and softer, acidic water (ph 6-7.5), they should breed pretty easily. you may not see any fry survive though, the parents may eat them, especially if they're cramped. a 20g would be better for breeding them. You will have better luck breeding if you feed a variety of foods including live worms or fruit flies, as well as bloodworms and other small quality frozen foods.
