Pacman Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 depends on how deep your pocket is, all my breeders are at a 1 to 3 ratio, and have constant breeding action usually a two day lul and bam logs are full again, leave em in the tank till they go black then log dad and all into a grow out tank, so that they can survive away from the empress that love to munch on babies my partner and i belive in following as closely to nature as possible, that way only the strongest survive till there big enough to be sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I was thinking last night what i should do with my 4 footer in my breeding setup. it is a 375 litre tank and the only issue with it is that it is hard to reach the bottom of the tank as it is a bit tall and there is more tanks on the top of the tank (like with a 1/2 a metre gap) so access is not the greatest. I am just kinda over breeding cichlids havent had much luck except with kribs, they always just eat their own eggs or babies etc. so maybe doing a pep setup maybe a ok way to go. I guess catching the babies would be about the same as normal bn although i have created a very cheap trap that works pretty well so that might be the way to do it. are peps any more difficult to get to 3cms than normal bn? i sometimes get the usual die off of 1 or 2 but other than that pretty easy, i heard that the peps babies are a bit stupid where they wont search for food so if they cannot find food in a square cm they just give up and die. so anyway who wants to give me some free peps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
