240G Breeding Project

[Coryd55]

This is going to be my thread following my 240 gallon breeding project. My plan is to breed one to as many as five or six species at a time, depending on size and other factors. Some with a divider(s) and some without. Then once I breed a species I will get a new one. Breed it and so on. I will take as many pictures as I can and water conditions for each species. Getting the tank hopefully next weekend. Starting off with some easy livebearers. Poecilia reticulata "Thai Mosaic" and Xiphophorus clemenciae.

How long is the tank?

Sevs, convicts, GT's,JD's, I'm sure you already said these but didn't feel like scanning the list, lol. Start with the basics then move onto the more interesting species. Good luck!!

try shelldwelling cichlids like N. Mulitfasciatus, L.Occelatus N.Brevis and so on, you would be able to breed all of the shellies in the same tank at the same time!
