Hi iam thinking of getting a few pairs of various cryptoheros speices, like hrps, sajica,spilurus,myrnea and possible nigrofasciatusmaybe even a few variants of f1orf0 cons. is this tank big enuff for this breeding project ?
 
Alot of what you have listed have varied temperments. If you divide the 20L it might work, but more than likely one pair per 20L is more realistic and even then a 20L is pushing it IMO.
 
yeah one pair per tank is what i was thinking not sure when i will do this. as i am moveing in month to a smaller apartment. so i may have to sell one of my larger tanks. or maybe i will add a 20 long or 2or3 or maybe a rack.what way should i go.
 
A three tier rack of 20 longs would be great......cheap to setup too. There are lots of cheap and easy to setup stands at Home Depot and the like that would work great.
 
cool i will check it out, could i run the rack on a central pump with sponge filter and air driven box filter per tank be good for filtration? Also 20 long big enuf for flier cichlids?
