31LJ95 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Any suggestions to breed and raise fry in a 10 gallon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) There are a ton of options. What kind of fish are you interested in? -Endlers would be something that’s easy and small enough to not quickly overwhelm the tank. -Small Corydoras would be fun. -If you can live without plants then shell dwelling cichlids would be awesome.

31LJ95 Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 I want something a bit challenging maybe endless if it’s an expensive pair or something but some small corys would be a good idea any suggestions? I am also thinking of Having shrimp in my soon to be 10 gallon betta tank which I know he will eat a few but he is not the most aggressive so thinking a few will survive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrepaPark Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Breeding fish like honey gouramis are fun because they are bubble nesters. Also different livebearers like Platys and Endlers should be pretty fun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I’m a big fan of Panda corys, I haven’t been able to get mine to spawn in the community tank. I think I’m going to move them to a 10 gallon and see if I can encourage some breeding behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnebuns Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'm assuming you mean both the adults and the fry in the 10 gal and not a growout situation right? I wanna throw killifish into the mix. I haven't done it myself but I've seriously considered it and researched it on and off a bunch. I know some specific species are easier than others and I csnt exactly advise you there but it's maybe something to look into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31LJ95 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yes grow out and parents. Never thought of those don’t they only live for a year though? Maybe could hatch some eggs seen some people do that. Thanks for the suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the 2 species I was considering both of these were true for. They were garderii and clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherHumanPerson Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Endlers / guppies. I especially like picking up random mutt females and seeing what colors I get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradfordAquatics Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 You could colony breed clown killifish in there. They're also pretty popular at the moment, so odds are good that you'd have no problem selling the excess fry that you raise. There are tons of wild type livebearers that are pretty rare or uncommon that would do well in a 10 if you want something truly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31LJ95 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 What’s colony breeding sorry is that leave them to it? Do you have any examples I do like livebeareres just want a change ti common ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binkysmom Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I have bred clown killies in a 10 gallon. Fairly easy to do as long as there is a lot of plant cover. Species only tank with a lot of moss and floating plants. I currently have an alien betta with clown killies in a 20 long with no issues. A betta would likely eat any fry.
