a female will not get big, i would say you could get away with a lightly stocked 150 to 200 litre max.

for a larger make 200 to 250 lightly stocked, good filter as they eat lots.

but breeding, thats hard.

FH are known to be violent breeders. I know from experience, the male will almost kill a female.

there are articles online that show you how to breed while there is a divider. in some cases, though people dont like to talk about it as it seems unethical and ruthless, let them breed, eggs fertilised and let the female die, cos you dont nheed her, the male will care for eggs anyways. thats wha ti found.

but there are different methods.
