Here is a update on my CPD breeding venture, I now have an unknown amount of fry 50+ some are 1/4 inch or longer my breeding tank is the glass from a fluval ebi kit 7.9 gallon it has some fine sand in the foreground this helped me collect the fry each day , I would lift the spawning mops off the bottom and the tiny fry beneath contrasted from the sand so I could collect them and place them in a breeding. net many times while collecting the fry I would also get eggs I got a good look at the fry in each stage of life. With only 1 pair of CPD I was collecting between 5-10 fry (non swimming ) each day the two CPD were removed when my breeding net was full of free swimming fry and now they have the planted tank to themselves they also seem to be growing better and feeding on natural inforza .

happy holidays to all the fishkeepers out there !

I have found that my breeding CPD fish are quite shy in there breeding tank which is a 7.9 gal fluval fully planted scape with drift wood and the works , they seem to only come out to spawn or to chase each other around once or twice a day but my female is still fat and new fry found each day, I have found that it helps to drape some sheer material over the tank makes then less spooky to movement in the room
