Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 do some old fashioned bucket water changes on all your tanks, that fills in heaps of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 The pair of tetras most likely wont breed in a breeding net and if they do they will eat most or all of the egg's and the babies probably need their own tank to darkent and treat so they don't fungus.. There is no point in sticking a pair of swords in there either the female will already be pregnant and has no need for the male. Also if she's all couped up in there chance are she will eat her babies as she drops them.. Guppies might work, however the best way to do them is to set them up with their own tank with lots of plants and let them drop and babies survive.. My main question for you is if your having to cram all these fish up in little containers to breed them where are you going to grow the babies out? Say each of these guppies has 20 babies you will have 100 of them and you can't raise them in a 5 way breeder thing (im presuming you have one of those betta traps) I would recommend buying some tanks so you have some room to do all this breeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok i wont worry about them thanks There is no point in sticking a pair of swords in there either the female will already be pregnant and has no need for the male. Also if she's all couped up in there chance are she will eat her babies as she drops them.. Female is already pregnant and i have taken her out of the breeding/spawning net. My main question for you is if your having to cram all these fish up in little containers to breed them .. All are already pregnant or carrying eggs. Say each of these guppies has 20 babies you will have 100 of them and you can't raise them in a 5 way breeder thing (im presuming you have one of those betta traps) I would recommend buying some tanks so you have some room to do all this breeding I have other tanks yes just waiting on another heater and some ornaments and that will be the guppy tank in the near future, thanks for your advice.
