Tedrock Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Howdy Nerms Inspired by the last member's talk on egg scatterers - totally awesome by the way, not to be missed, I am going to start an scatterers breeding project. I am curious what would you breed from scratch if building it up from an empty tank? I am looking for ideas. Please share. Many thanks, Tedrock.

PaleoShrimp Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I have zero experience, but someday I’d love to try to breed cherry barbs and try to get them as red as possible. That would be a fun project for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) I'm going to cheat. These NANF are technically "nest associate" spawners -- they scatter eggs over rock mounds in streams made by chubs. Notropis chlorocephalus Catawba Greened Shiners... I _may_ be netting some in NC next month and bringing home as brooders . . . Edited February 23, 2023 by Fish Folk 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberjaw Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I would love to breed chili rasboras. I would love to have a group of about 40. I need the tank to be mature, so will probably speed it up using Bacter AE and mulm from the bottom of a mature tank once it's cycled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying fox 6523 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Being I have albino Cory catfish in a 75 gal tank with the food I feed them, I would have to say they spawn so easy that if I was collecting the eggs I'd be swamped in eggs & Cory catfish. So if any 1 is looking at hatching Cory catfish it's really simple to do, I just don't have the space to set up another tank for them is all.

Theplatymaster Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 if i was going to id do lemon tetras, however all of the fish i really like are egg depositers (stick eggs to things) or livebearers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBkeeper Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Pencilfish! specifically beckford pencilfish. Easy to keep, males get super intense colouring, and I've bred them by accident in various tanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice_Lacer Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I guess I'll say gold white clouds. I've gotten 4 standard white cloud fry so far but I'm hoping some gold will appear at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJhilljack Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 As someone else said in the comments, I have zero experience. I've been planning on CPD's in my new (and first) tank though and I understand they are scatterers, so I have plans to add some grow out tanks or tubs or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
