Nursery Tank/MTS

Right I have a new problem (MTS? ) I have a spare 60l which I want to use as a nursery tank, I was thinking for bristlenose plecs? What else could be interesting to breed and not put a strain on the tank?

Edit: I love your fish they are so beautiful!!

You could try breeding your tiger or cherry barbs! From what I hear, the cherries are one of the easiest to breed. Simply take a male and a female and place them in the nursery, condition them using foods like High quality flake food and/or frozen foods and/or live foods. When ready to mate, your male will turn a deep cherry red color. You should provide a mop of java moss for the female to spawn over. When she is done releasing eggs, remove both parents. The eggs should hatch in a day or two. Until the fry have utilized their yolk sac completely (if any), you can start feeding them finely crushed flake food or commercial fry foods. You can put them in the main tank at one inch long. At around two months they should be fully grown.

I have decided to go with bristlenose plecos can never have too many of them and if I end up with too many they are popular around here so I can give some away.
