Building L134 spawning group

Post by rhibear »

I currently have a male and female L134 in a 20 long and want to add more for a viable spawning group. How many total fish should I aim to get and in what size tank? (Considering limited funds) I have a 40 breeder available also.

Some breeders have a group of 6-10 to start off then once they have paired, they move the pair to their own tank for optimal results.

A trio is also very popular, I guess it depends on tank space and availability.

Good luck

Okay, If i were to get 3 more adults, could they be kept in a 20 long? or would they need more space?

I think 5 or 6 would be fine for a 20 long but I wouldn't go above it.
