What size tank?

--Dan

 

[Ben]

theyre in my 40g atm but are going to be moved into a tank by themselves because 1)it will give them less stress when they breed and 2) it will give the rest of my fish in my 40 less stress because theyre little devils

I was wondering what size they need for breeding?

--Dan

 

[Ben]

absoloute minimum:25gal(recomended for experienced breeders with them,not first timers)
a reasonable size: 30gal
good size:40gal
tankmates:none

Awesome A 20g would probably be fine if you kept on the water changing and such eh?

 

[Ben]

Thanks, i would still go 30gal much easier to keep and better for the fish
