40 breeder setup

also I contacted jeff from designs by nature and he said they can cut down a background for me free of charge, he got back to me very quickly too, excellent customer service

Thats because they wanted your money. If you have an issue they ignore you and it isn't beneath them to cheat and steal from their customers. They are scum.

a 40 breeder would be way to small for frempongi or fascistus. My pair of Fasciatus are about 9". I have them in a 75g but looking for a 120.

Awesome! Can anybody explain to me why the 40 gallon breeder tanks are so popular? It seems like you hear about them over and over again for some reason?

Bjbass, the breeders are typically deeper than regular tanks. So if you were to put a 3d back ground into a 55g tank and the back ground was 3-4" thick, you would have much room for your fish to swim around in. 40 and 50g breeders are deeper.

Someone chime in if I am off here. Just my 2 cents.
