Breeding Tanks

[australia]

i am planning on breading more cichlids, atm i have two 4 foot tanks at 160litres each and a 3 foot tank at 110litres, im thinking of setting up 4 two foot tanks for the fry when the mothers spits them, i have a colony of 6 mbunas and will be getting more shortly, will 2 foot tanks be good for the fry? and any other suggestions on tanks for fry? etc could i have a 4 foot tank and divide it into a 2 halfs leaving me with two 2 footers? any ideas would be great, thanks

sounds like your going to be over run with fry will you be able to get rid of all of them? its very hard to get rid of fry. I would suggest that you cull the runt fry in the tank keeping your number lower with better specimens, you could split up the 4ft tank if you do you will need 2 filter for each side, but if they are going to the same batch of fry y not keep it as a 4ft tank seem to make more sense to me, as for filtration use a sponge filter which are dead cheap to by from your lfs
