I understand the reasoning behind this. The idea is to put a few ‘caves’ in the tank, I was looking at savu pods since they look very natural and even help manage water quality the same way catappa leaves do.
Once I notice spawning has taken place and the eggs have come out I will put the cave in a floating container to keep it in the same water quality and temperature so I can easily feed the fry and raise them.
I know this is not the prefered way, but I think it is worth a try.
Once I am fully comfortable with the species I would like to build a rack in a quiet room in the house and breed one or two different species there.
I have had a few smaller tanks in the past and always had trouble keeping the waterquality good enough.
If I don’t manage to breed the fish in the larger tank I will take them out and place them in smaller tanks sooner, but this will take some convincing at home as well 😉
