A clean slate x5

So I've cleaned up shop and have x 5 clean tanks.... What too do?

Want to breed something! Any suggestions?

I'm going 5o paint them black and add all needed

Would appreciate some input.
Maybe if I use a suggestion and I'm successful I will donate some of the spawn to the person that suggested....

What you all think

 

@Gbr guy no suggestion for what to breed, rather a suggestion to keep the tanks a few cm away from each other and if using a cover then have them individually covered. From my experience with pathogens spreading across tanks kept against each other and sharing glass covers.

 

White Clouds! Always White Clouds

 

Otos! Or are those too difficult to breed?

 

Could be quite fun to do multiple types of the same species - guppies for example, and then try your had at cross-breeding them Or maybe a betta system? Not sure what the dimensions are of the tanks?

 

Just over 20L

 

I will definitely give them ago

 

Sho that's a challenge have to research abit to check how to.

 

I've got some guppy endlers hybrids I'm working on all ready.

 

So the tanks have been painted and I. Starting to cycle some of them.

 

How about some harlequin rasboras

 

How about apistogramma?, although I think those tanks are a little on the small side...shrimp maybe or black corys

 

That could be pretty fun actually, especially in that size tank.

Not sure if you've done it before, or want to, but why not try some shrimp? Not difficult to breed, and can always be sold off to help cover the costs of the others as you go. Just an idea.

 

Get some rare species of Betta (like hendra) and do your part for endangered species.

Otherwise I’ll vote for pea puffers.

 

I've bread my rams in them. Don't think they are to small.

I would love to get my hands on a pair of apistoes

 

I haven't tried it yet but could also be a contender

 

I saw some pea puffers at aquarium empire but could not sex them they are to small

 

If it were me, I would say I would set up three as breeders and keep two empty for the fry - that way you can keep the little ones safe till they can be moved around safely. In that, you could keep shrimp in one and maybe snails in another to keep them cycled and ready to go when your others breed. Just a thought though

 

That's a good idea. But I have 5 more of these tanks dedicated to fry. So would like to have 5 new projects....
