Nothing too exciting, but I have a 50G planted tank with:
25 cardinal tetras
18 CPDs
6 to 8 panda cory cats
6 rummy nose tetras
5 pencil fish
2 otos
9 cherry shrimp
2 amano shrimp
20 nerite snailsI had some SAEs at one point, but they were just a little too aggressive at feeding time, so I took them back to the fish store.
Might not have unusual fish, tedre, but it sounds like one stunning tank!
Cardinal tetras are total beautys, runnys too.
Forgot to mention, I got a hunking big apple snail almost the size of my fist in my catfish tank too. Doesn’t touch the algae on the sides of the tanks at all, just algae wafers. Catfish wafers too, I think, considering his shell changing real nice color. :wink:
– Atlantis
A few more additions –
2 * Syno Multipunctatus.
10 * Pearl Danios.
1 pair of P. Taeniatus Nigerian red.
3 * Cory Zygatus.
Trio * Xiphophorus Xiphidium.
4 * Cory Pygmaeus.
11 * CPDs.
2 * African blockheads.
1 breeding pair albino corys.And last but not least a pair of Betta Umbra.
Right now I only have livebearers, because I had been out of the hobby for many years, and I wanted to ease back in slowly. Started with one 20g, but nowadays I have 20g tall, 20g long, 30g, 10g, 10g. I have Dalmatian Sailfin Mollies & some really pretty little Platys, and of course, loads and loads of their offspring.
I am searching for the perfect CPDs and a nice breeding pair of Congo Tetras, possibly some Barbs in future (my husband’s choice).
All my tanks are planted, and I have been experimenting with C02 without success.
hello everyone! new here, but I’ve been keeping up on this site for the last couple months now since i bought my first cpd’s… you have all helped me more than you could possibly imagine. thank you!
I have:
2 gold rams
1 yellow male betta
2 female bettas
4 otos
7 neons
6 white clouds
9 cpd’s
1 kuhli loach
2 african dwarf frogs
and an infinite ammount of guppiesHi everyone! I am new here and got my first CPD’s a week ago after a couple of years wanting some.
I have a planted tank with:
6 CPD’s
2 whiteclouds
2 cory nanus
1 sumo loach
4 assorted Nerite snails
3 assassin snails
Way too many bladder snails (hence the assassins)I will soon be adding a couple of rainbows, probably Gertrudae, or some of the brand new Daisy’s Ricefish.
Just purged the tank of guppies (neighbor’s kids were getting an aquarium for Christmas so they took all of mine – except one intrepid fry that stayed hidden)

Hi In2wishin, welcome to the forum!
Congratulations on your new CPD’s.

Thank you. Unfortunately I have had one fatal accident: I was doing a water change my usual way using an airline hose into a bucket (in case anything gets sucked up). Afterwards I only saw 5 CPD’s. One went into the airline and got stuck about 6 inches in :cry: As best as I can sex them, I still have 2 males and 3 females so I still can breed. I will definitely be reading this forum as I set up a tank.
Quick question: will they breed in a community tank (I plan to use an egg trap like you made) or should I remove them to a separate tank?

Yes, they will spawn in a community tank. Be sure your egg trap provides the best spawning site in the tank or they may be tempted to deposit the eggs else where.
It also helps to place the egg trap in an out-of-the-way place in the tank so it will not collect too much uneaten food.
Best of luck with your breeding project! Please keep us posted. :wink:

Thanks, will do. I will do the initial spawning attempt in the fry tank, then move the fish and trap to the community tank after I (hopefully) get some eggs to start out.
This will be my first egg layer breeding attempt….have only had livebearers breed (which of course need no assistance from me).
