Festae breeding and red tiger breeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That could work as well. But need to be carefull breeding can be hard on the pair. Of the Festae breeding I have been follwing on YouTube there are a lot if deaths.
Like this one guy had to put a milk crate into his tank with a small entrance only the female could fit into for his breeding to succeed and not kill one of the fish in the process.
Now it maybe a lot easier if breeding younger fish, tho some sp. don't sexually mature till they are big fish, like Oscars don't mature till 1.5 years old.

I would have a egg crate in there for the female

If you just want a beeding setup, 40 breeder would do for a pair of red tiger motas. 75 for a pair of red terrors. If you want to keep them long term in an aquarium then you are looking at a 100 gallon (5' x 18") minimum for a pair of red tiger motas and a 180 minimum for a pair of red terror long term.

As for getting the pairs in the first place, order 5-10 juveniles of each species and raise them in their own tanks and allow them to pair naturally.

In order to keep the bonds strong, once you get your pair, I would keep them in sight of one another, perhaps set their aquariums up across from one another. Close enough for them to see each other but not so close that they constantly stress each other out. You could also keep them right next to each other but just have a foam sheet that you can place and remove at any time in order to block their view of each other (kind of like bettas).

But yeah, those are just some general tips.
