Re: tank size (was Apisto beginner ...)



> what do you all think about breeding apistos in a 
10-gallon tank?

What are the dimensions?  If 18 or 24" long then I'd say 
certainly big enough for a pair.   You may, depending on 
the pair have to move the male after spawning to curb 
aggression or if you keep losing spawns.  

>From your other point of losing fry on third generation 
fish it may just be that they have lost viability due to 
repeated brother/sister matings, try introducing some 
unrelated blood.

To grow out fish in a 55G is certainly a good idea but I 
doubt you would raise more fry in a  mixed species tank.  
Anomala  can be pretty tough fish when breeding.
