Hello Has anyone experience with breeding coral red Pencilfish? I have a group of 12 swimming in a 20 long right now and have two 5g and a 10g without fish in it right now. I would like to try to set them up to breed. Looking for some help and advice on how to do it. Like what to feed to condition them, separate male and females, how to prepare spawning tank, what substrate to spawn them, how to raise the eggs and young fish Water parameters of course Just everything that would help me to be successful. Thank you very much

@Dean’s Fishroom thank you for the link Master Dean. Going to order one of these valves now. Thank you to you and everyone for the help.

Thanks @Andy's Fish Denfor the the heads up about the temperature drop. I thought about it already too and I only have about 12ft from the point it leaves the 3 stage filter to the manifold outlet. Probably going to put some pipe insulation around it just to be sure. thanks appreciate it

@s1_ awesome thank you very much for the info. I will do a Google search and hopefully can order one online. The cheap Chinese one of Amazon you are using is like the one I had on my Amazon wish list but is not available anymore and similar ones don't adjust the temperature that low. Thanks again

@eatyourpeas i know master Dean is using an intellifaucet, which is amazing but way out of my price range. I was hoping of finding something like a shower style faucet with temperature settings on it I could use that is able to do adjustment in the lower 70⁰F range.

Hello I am building currently a semi auto water change system for my aquarium rack. The tap water will be going through a 3 stage filter system (sediment, gac, cto) to a water manifold to supply fresh water to all the tanks. I would like to put in a water temperature mixing valve before it enters the 3 stage filter to be able to adjust water temperature. My problem is I can only find mixing valves with a water mixing temperature rating above 80⁰F. But I want to make water changes in the low to mid 70⁰F range. Does anyone can point me in the right direction of finding the right mixing valve or has an other suggestion on how to accomplish the temp adjustment easily. Thank you for all your help in advance.

I am excited to see how it will look in the end. Please keep posting pictures.

Sorry for the very late reply. Yes I try to spawn all fish I keep. All the plecos are still to young for breeding but the apistos multiplying like rabbits. Current fish I keep A. borellii A. trifisciata red A. viejita A. hongsloi II A. cacatuoides A. panduro A. ortegai Nannostomus mortenthaleri Danio margaritatus Thank you
