Am I the only one that is not suprised they can start breeding at 3-4". My blue acaras were only 2" then they first spawned. Also if there are 7 then it is easy for them to pair up. getting a good pair from just 1 M 1F is harder then if you let they pick their mates.
I do agree with the size tank. As they grow you will need to pick your fav and let the others go.
We really need some pics
More surprised that they'd breed if they'd all been kept in such a small tank, not that a pair had formed....
The size of the tank is not what puts fish in the mood. If kept in good conditions with the right temp and ph why can't they spawn in a smaller tank? When it feels right do it haha. People can do it in the front seat of a car when the conditions are right HAHAHA! sorry.
Besides OP said he moved them to a Rio 400 thats what close to 90 gal?
What I meant was, the impression the OP gave me at least, was that he was given seven full grown Severums in a 180L tank. Everyone always say minimum 75g for one, so it is interesting that they can feel happy enough to breed, even when kept in less than adequate conditions. Plus the fact that under first impression they could be stunted. I'm just surprised that's all, but do hope the fish aren't stunted and that they are all in a larger tank now. Though I don't think 400L is big enough for 7 full grown Sevs, either. Big enough for two or three, but not seven.
