what would you describe as the "ideal" set-up for breeding these?

Hi!

Ancistrus hoplogenys comes from Black Water...
Fine sand, driftwood, a few to no plants...
Soft water, low PH!
Peat extract...
Dim light!
Cheers

...I have a pair of Hoplogenys (only 2" - 5cm) one of which is definetly a male, the other hoping will be the opposite :wink: . What would be the ideal tank size to breed in, and also to keep in, as I wish to seperate them from my slightly larger regular Bristlenose pair...

Basically what I want is a species only tank set up to replicate the ideal conditions for this type of Ancistrus...

Thanks and sorry for cutting in on the thread
