Welcome Joshaeus — glad to have you join us. The plan you describe for your 10 gallon tank is appropriate particularly when you plan to separate your breeding pair(s) to a 2.5 gal tank. There is a tremendous amount of information already on the site so I encourage to spend time working your way through the information. Most questions will have been covered to one degree or another somewhere on the site. Should you have questions you are not able to find feel free to present the question. I currently have several species and I keep them is 6 gallon tanks. The maximum I maintain in the tanks is 6. I keep caves in each tank and will let the fish pair off and lay the initial eggs in the tank. Depending on the success of the spawn I may move the pair to a 2.5 gal tank alone with the original cave. Keep us posted…
