Breeding cons

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sounds like they are close to me but dont get discouraged if its an unsuccesful spawn the first time, its typical for first time parents.
 
In the time it takes to type or post to google or search the forums wouldnt it have been easier to just tell him what dithers are?

Dithera are a group of hardy fish that can take a few for the team to disperse possible aggression from the male. Usually a group of schooling fish. Unfortunately in a 10 g your room for school of anything that wont be killed instant is non existent. You can try some tetras but with little room to escape they might just be killed within a few minutes.

Your option B is to watch the male carefully. If the female os doing her nesting you getting close but if she doesnt cooperate the male can turn on her and again with little room to run she can get killed. My advice lots of plant cover considering you cant upgrade the tank.

Do NOT over feed the pair! Instead of their usual meal once a day try dispersing that same amount in a few feedings. Trust me cons its just add water and a clean environment. What you could do since you already cranked the temp up is to do partial small water changes at odd intervals with cold tap water. But i doubt you will need to reach those measure with cons. But again as others have said that 10g is pushing it for them.
