Hay Just want to ask some questions, on a mission to breed my firemouths....
1) my male is 2.5 inches and female is 2 inches, can they breed?
2) can i breed them in a 10 and put them in the 65 when they have had fry ??
3) at the moment there in the 65 and they are Flaring, kissing, and showing of there coulers, i also see a breeding tube on the male.
4) i just set the ten up but put 30% of there tank water in there and the rest new water.... how long till i can put them both in there.
p.s i know its a male and female by the fins and size difference

heres there 10

id say leave em in the 65... i left mine in a 75 with other fish and the parents did an excellent job protecting them as i now have about 100 juvie firemouths on my hands.
 
don't move the fish to the other tank yet, that might just reset the spawning/courtship
