Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to ask you opinions on having a 40 gallon breeder tank specifically for mandarins and scooter blennies and other fish that are hard to get off live.
Im going to be tearing down my 40 gallon freshwater tank since the 210 gallon freshwater will have to wait because we have to enclosed the patio to make it an all season room since thats where the folks want the 210 and the fish I have growing in the 40 will encounter health problems with size if kept in there any longer.
So basically I have a 40 gallon breeder. I have an fx5 on it right now but do you think I should continue using it or maybe I can get away with sponge filters and siphoning of debri during water changes? I was thinking of removing the fx5 because I will most likely have to feed live brine shrimp from the hatchery I will get started and with the fx5 Im pretty sure all of the hatchling shrimp will be sucked up.
Also how many scooters and mandarins do you think can thrive in this tank?
Also I have experience with saltwater for when I had a reef tank with my 72 gallon Bowfront.
Thanks A Million
Hopefully that was kinda of easy to understand
