in need of some silver aro advice

[Miguel]

Several females have laid eggs in tanks.

I have had breeding behaviour in tank.

But to actually have them breeding, not one case i mnow of, outside of big ponds.

I just purchased a dark rubbermaid and am also adding a pleco and about 5 large apple snails hoping this will help with cleanup, maybe a dark rubbermaid where they are not able to see nothing but up will reduce stress, any tips?

Thanks and yes im as i stated before well aware of their potential size, i will be constructing an indoor pond for my group. The rubbermaid is clear, maybe a darker rubbermaid where the fish can see only up will cause them to be less stressed? None of the fish fight what so ever. Thanks for helping me guys!

you also asked how fast they grow, just answering your question. I do have a 150g rubbermaid that you can borrow. I am up in Thornton. Send me a PM if interested.

Lets not exagerate. Op mentioned 2 weeks.

No way are you going to breed silvers in a tank. Only one story i heard of the sort, in Vietnam, and i do not believe it.

Who me? I'm not exaggerating, the aro, some if not all are stressed, two of them have already gone for 4 weeks without eating. The two not eating show signs of being victims of aggression(probably why they are not eating). IMO in those conditions he's possibly gonna loose a couple. If not to anything else probably to jumping out.
