Thinking About Breeding

[PiMpPiStOl]

i just wanna try this once to see how it goes...i have a 33 gallon, community, and i had 2 swordails, both male, untill one died. now i have a lonely one. how much trouble would it be to breed?? i recently got a 55 gallon, but im not gonna set it up till i move. i just got it for a good deal. 30 dollars. i was thinking i could use that for the fry tank, just not fill it all the way you know?? would that work or no?

their pretty easy to breed, in a well planted tank.

so i could do it?? if i get a sponge filter and a bunch of plants?

You will need a heater too.

just get a load of vallis and it will multiply very quick

so, plants, filter, heater, thermometer....anything else? what kind of food?? just really crushed up flakes??

 

[Truck]

good quality flakes, with lots of live food

 

[PiMpPiStOl]

where could i get em on the net?? i dont have any LFSs near here, and i doubt walmart has em...

also, how do i make em do the wild thing??do i stick em both in the 55 or what?>

even frozen ones will be good, just put them in the tank and leave 'em to it

Not for me i have had my pair for ages and have yet to produce fry! Not that im complaining, i dont want swordtail fry.

it just depends on the conditions etc, wether you have a fertile male, its a lottery lol
