Re: Tank setups

[IDMiamiBob@aol.com]

I have my ten gallon tanks on a 21" stand sideways.  I've been replaceing the 
glass lids with home-made side-ways ones as well.  I transfer the fry after a 
while to a twenty with fresh water in it, and then to a thirty.  I can keep 
about eighty fry growing by doing this and being faithful to lots of water 
changes.

Yes, if you want to go nuts, you can produce hundreds of fry per month, but 
you have to decide how many you can handle.  I stop the spawning by pulling 
the peat out of my tanks and doing a couple of water changes.  My tapwater 
hardness is just a bit out of range for the fish to spawn, but close enough 
that they aren't uncomfortable.
