hey all here are a few Qs i have
- Thread starter livebearerfreak
- Start date
o should i just take everything out and just leave 3 flat slates in there?? there 12 inches wide slates by 7 inches long
I don't think you should clear everything if you want them to breed because it might scare them and make them not want to breed. As far as them breeding it sounds like it but I am not positive.
It would definalty stop some of the fry from surviving. Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember correctly you are going to sell them. And during my few minutes of consciousness in Economics class I picked up that fewer goods equals less income...
Fewer goods does not always equal less income, scarcity actually leads to an increase. Fewer goods could actually mean more profit on a greater scale. However, if price is constant, a greater supply would be beneficial, if the market is available to support a large supply.
your gonna want to remove all of the tankmates if possible because when they do lay eggs the other fish will eat them
removeing the oscar would proubly give them a better chance of breeding if you wan't to breed them just make sure they have a place to spawn like a rock , flowerpot , slate but for the most part try to leave the tank the way it is if they feel like spawning moveing the tank around can only make them un happy

Hey hey hey show off, we're talking about firemouths here. Last time I checked they weren't very scarce! Ha I'm just messing around you may have just helped me on my test today!
well lastnite i watched and recorded my fish( tonite ill hopely get the video but have to do it at a friends house tho ) the 2 biggest firemouth baarly leave eachother side and when they do its just to attack other fish. they liplock, tailwhipe, flare, and follow eachother around ALOT tho. so is that a sign of a pair forming?? and i think they already found a spot for the eggs.
