Breeding Tank

What size would be good for a breeding and fry rearing tank?

Thanks

Depends on the species of course but a good size tank I would use most would be
18"x12"x12"

A breeding tank needs to be sparce (for cleanliness) and no substrate for most species. A bi-Orb has a major flaw and that is the neck, whilst it would work, it is really fenickity when your trying to perform maintenance (just try getting a good sized net in the top of one of those. My daughter has one for her goldfish and they really are a pain.

18"x12"x12" tank volume is
11.22 Imp Gallons
13.13 US Gallons
50.50 ltrs
