Setup for breeding

[Kolton13]

So I plan on breeding severums and im curious besides a flat rock is there anything I need to enhance the quality and chances of successful spawns

Feed high quality and a variety of foods.
Keep up with maintenance and water quality.

Be prepared for the fry and what you will do with them once you get a spawn.
Have some spare tanks with sponge filter aged and ready.

yeah, mine are young rn and when they are older they will have a 75 to breed in and the fry will go into a 55 gallon, Can the fry tank have gravel? or does it need to be sand or no subtrate?

 

[BIG-G]

Substrate doesn’t really matter to fry.
Some like a substrate.
I usually keep fry in a bare tank with heater and sponge filter.

I’ve found that feeding newly hatched brine shrimp increase the survival rate quite a bit.
You may want to think about feeding the fry in advance of the spawn.
Some just crush up flakes or pellet.
I usually feed brine for a week or two then slowly switch them over to other foods

ok yeah im gonna use the brine shrimp especially if it speeds up growth
