hello guys, i've bread marbled crays before so it not completely new but i am trying to do it a little differently this time and am looking for some advice. right now i have two fairly small (2ish in.) berried mothers in a 10 gallon but once the babies hatch i would like to separate some of them into a grow out or two, or perhaps throw some into my main tank to clean up and eventually inevitably be killed (150 w/ piranhas) thats the plan anyway.
so i have a spare 2.5, 4, and 20L waiting in the wings, i would prefer to use the smaller tanks as opposed to getting the 20 involved because counter space here is prime realty and i've already resorted to keeping the 10 under the 150 stand to free up some room.(the 20 wouldn't fit)
last crays i had that were berried, when moved, was a total deal breaker and were eggless a few days later so i'd like to avoid that but what are my other options as far as getting some babies away from the mothers? wait and grab what i can when their at a decent size?
would it be feasible after this batch to throw the keepers in the 4 an have the 10 as a grow out?
