drewzero1 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) When I got mine to breed I just had a thick mat of java moss covering the bottom of the tank. When I started seeing fry (surprise!) I added guppy grass from another tank so they had somewhere to hide. Mine winter over at about 50F, but I've only seen new fry during the summer when it's about 70F down here (in my basement fish room). As always though I'll defer to whatever @WhitecloudDynasty says (because he does this on purpose!)

TheSwissAquarist Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Always feed well, because that may save a couple of fry from Mum and Dad needing a Sunday roast;). By the way thanks @WhitecloudDynasty, your post on the Best fish pic competition thread has really gotten me into breeding them! I thought I might try Gold x Long fin. Any thoughts on that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalNerd98 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I have used DIY fry traps/breeder boxes to get fry out of my WCMW and CPD colonies. I use these a bit differently though. Instead of putting the parents in, I put the parents on the outside and let them spawn. The fry move themselves into these traps to get away from their parents. From there, I just siphon them out or catch them out with a brine shrimp net. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
