| This is like their 70th spawn haha. I've only grown 1 batch out. They never eat them. The fry just get lost in the 55 and get eaten eventually by other stuff in the tank. Though I'm sure a couple get eaten by the parents. | |

| I like it a lot. It was fairly easy to. Except I touched one bit that wasn't completely dry somehow and a bit came up. But other than that its really nice!
I might try a different color on my upcoming 20 long saltwater. | |

| Nice, thats good. Yeah i scraped mine up putting it up on a stand. Putting a 40 breeder ontop of a close to 53" high stand by yourself can be tough heh. | |

| Yea. That sounds just a little bit tough.
Why the 53" stand? | |

| Personal preference really, i'd rather look straight in instead of bending over or squatting. Plus it helps the discus be less freaked out, the closer to the floor they are the more freaked they get when people walk by. It also gives me a good amount of room under it to put another tank and have enough space to work in that tank. | |

| Nice.
I think I'm going to go with a taller than normal DIY stand for my 20 long. I hate bending over or sitting down to see the fish. | |

| Moved the angelfish pair over today. Just figured it would be better to get them in sooner. They are still kind of stressed and are only half way watching the eggs.
Hopefully they will move the eggs to the slate so I can take the black canister out of there.
1. Longfin Bristlenose Pleco. Looking for a home. Nowhere to put him right now.
2. FTS
3. Eggs in 29G - moved them today
4. Big male - really thick and round

| Welcome I used a 20g tall for a bit as a breeding tank and then removed mom and dad when they went free swimming, worked really well.

| I thought about that but I figured it would stress the parents out. I decided to use a BB ten gallon with 2 sponge filters for a fry tank. Pics later when I take the sand out of it.
