How many?

[symmo]

right here is my new plan I have a 50 litre tank that I am going to use for trying to breed some CPD’s!
It has just finished fishless cycling

I am in the process of planting it up as dense as poss and I have a tank divider on order ready for when (if) fry appear!

I am just un sure on how many I should place in this tank?

and the mix between m / f for best breeding chances?

so imput would be great cheers

This relates to habitat and breeding so if this should be in breeding im sorry

my breedinggroup existed from 2 males and 6 females, after i discovered the first fry(after 2 weeks) i put the breedinggroup back in the tank with the other CPD’s so the fry(and eggs) wouldn’t eaten up by the parents.

We’ll be keeping all our CPDs together in the one tank. How does 10 sound? 7F 3M, or 6F 4M, or 5 of each? Do you think thats enough for a 50L tank, or should we use the divider from the beginning so they’re a little more ‘cozy’!? :wink:

my breeding tank was about 25 liters, so 50 liters is good enough, i think you can better have more females than males in your breeding tank, and put a lot of javamoss in it for the eggs and fry, and when you’ve fry it’s better to take them out or use the divider.
