I currently have 3 pairs spawning in my tank has anyone else had more then one pair in their tank when spawning rbp? It's crazy I knew I had 2 but now all 3 made nests and laid eggs at the same time kinda crazy just curious on other people's breeding set ups
 
And for the first time the females are actually staying with the males in the nests which they never did before
 
That's my current set up adults in a 90g I got a 40g that's not set up yet and I have a 40g split ( either a pair of adults or additional grow outs ) and on bottom a 40g split and then a side split again and then I have my 2.5g for eggs just finished setting up the stand and breeder tanks as of yesterday still need to ad the 3rd tier of the stand and get my last 40g on it didn't think I would need to set up the 3rd breeder tank but the way my fish are spawning I might need to buy more lol
 
The last pic is the remainder of my very first batch which I had 43 survivors after 2 months but I was gone for a week after they laid eggs and had a friend comming by so did not take very good care of them but now I'm on my 4th batch (8th time they spawned just when they spawn at the same time I put all the eggs together) and have greatly improved my survival rate and just gather of the eggs in general my oldest batch of fry besides the ones that are 2 month+ are 20 days old and I have 100+ survivors and haven't lost any for 6 days I usually have 100% survival after 2 weeks
 
2 males made their nests to close together and were attacking each other non stop so I took my drift wood and made a barrier
 
Fed my 2 month olds a peice of fish for the first time was cool they went for it right away I will make a video but I just figured out how to put pictures from my phone but video didn't work
