frontosa in barebottom tank

[Apollyeon]

will a colony breed in a barebottom tank? curious if anyones had success with it,,,used to have crushed coral but didnt like how much debris would get trapped beneath so stripped it of the substrate,,water quality seems much better

I'd use a thin layer of pool filter sand to break the glare. The fish will be much more settled and not enough substrate to trap gunk.
