Fishbitz Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just wanna know wats everyone's thoughts on breeding tanks for Africans do you think 2x1x1.5 is big enough to house most Africans with colony sizes of one male eight females and four footers for grow outs obviously the tanks will need to be larger for bigger fish but for most variants wats your thoughts?

I suggest 24 x 24 x 18 is a reasonable size for a nine fish colony with rocks/pvc pipes for hiding places. If you are using 4 footers for grow outs for different species you will have to be positive you know which is which species as they grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbitz Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ok thanks I think that's how I'll go for tanks how do you maximise space in a Fishroom so you can have more fish any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have rack legs on the outside of the rack so you can but tanks right up close to each other. Place tanks front to back of rack not side to side. run air off a ring main not a whole heap of lil pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmunga Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think those size tanks would be good for most smaller cichlids and really like the idea of a dedicated breeding room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
