Breeding Emperor tetras and Whip tails


Loopy

Recommended Posts

i have a male/female pair of whips and possibly another unknown sex whip soon and a group of 5 males and 5 female emperor tetras which i would like to breed.

I want all advice and opinions, hints, tips and useful info to help me with the process. anything about water conditions, size of tank, blah blah etc

I have some reading material which i will examine, but it is those secrets which they don't put in books which is what i wanna hear!

Emperor tetras are not difficult just a few rules,

They need a large tank at least 75lt, 100lt + is better.

For best hatch results use rain water or water with a very low to 0 ppm of calcium and magnesium.

Keep the tank very dark or better cover it until the fry are at the free swim stage(4 to 5 days after hatching) as the eggs and nymph are a little light sensitive.

Best of luck
