GotCrabs Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Breeding mops work For sure. Plant wise, perhaps Water Wisteria, either plant it or let it float, same as Hornwort as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Java Moss works for me. With duckweed on the surface for the fry to hide in.However I have better luck breeding bows in ponds than tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I have hornwort in my rainbow tank but im looking at replacing it as it grows way to fast and strangles everything, maybe try some ambulia or milfoil for yours. The aussie versions are quite tough but still need the light to penetrate down to the last leafy stems otherwise they will rot from the bottom up!

Fishbitz Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks for the ideas guys I'll give them a try I was thinking elodea floating aswell but maybe to coarse and @ grubby the ponds work better you say I was thinking about ibc for rainbow ponds wat do you think? But I'm trying in tanks as well hardest part is tracking down different species but thanks too a few people I'm starting to find a few types which leades to my next question anyone know anybody with female parkinsons rainbows?
