As some of you may know I’m doing a 20 gallon tank that will be a quarantine/guppy breeding tank and I was thinking of ways to improve the survival rate for the fry. Since the tank is also going to be a quarantine tank I don’t want to have anything that’s permanent like live plants, I want something that can help the fry survive but also be taken out to be cleaned fairly easy.
Imagine a few layers of marbles, a layer of fake plants, then more marbles and fake plants with the very top layer being fake plants.
My thought process is that the marbles and fake plants will create spaces that the fry can access while adults can't. The fake plants will also help make sure that the fry get food because the leaves will trap small bits of flakes and such.
Does that sound like it could work for what I’m hoping to acheive and are there any flaws that anybody notices?
