Interested in breeding gardneri killifish. Have some questions

[wtusa17]

I saw some gardneri killis at my lfs and I saw a pair that were dancing around each other. I’m very interested in these fish. I have some options. Can they go in my 20 long with neon and ember tetras? If that doesn’t work I have a 10 gallon. Are pairs ok? Can the eggs hatch naturally?

Put the pr in the 10 gallon with a thin layer of substrate and lots of plants (Java Moss and Water Sprite). Have an air operated sponge filter in the tank and keep the water around 24-26C.

Do big water changes and feed the adults a variety of different dry, frozen and live foods.

The adults don't normally eat their eggs but might eat their young if they are hungry. The newly hatched babies will swim just under the surface among the Water Sprite and you can use a small plastic container to scoop them out and put them in a rearing tank.

Let's face it, to reproduce fish you need a male and a female. Two males won't do...

Ok so it’s not necessary to remove the eggs?i don’t even need a spawning mop? Do they need a trio or is a pair fine
