I'm getting either a fluval spec 5 gallon or a marineland 10 gallon tank around next Tuesday. There is still much debate in my mind going over what to put in it but I think breeding natives would be cool if possible! I don't have a tank for the fry so I'm looking for a fish whose fry could survive with their parents in the same tank for 2ish months if possible, otherwise the fry will just go in a large cooler with a sponge filter. Some species I like are mosquitofish, american flagfish, pygmy sunfish, and (I doubt this would work but possibly if I did a 10) Enneacanthus species. This would be my first time with natives and I'm looking forward to it
. I would leave the tank at room temp which ranges from 66-82 F and on rare occasions for very short periods will hit 84 in the summer, but not very often, rarely will it go above 78. My pH is naturally 7.6 and I don't really want to mess with it so the fish would have to be ok with it. I'm open to any other suggestions as well, thanks for the help in advance!
