Does anyone have an idea of how to setup up like rows of clear tubs(Rubbermaid type tubs) with all on filtration system? So I can switch fish in stages as they grow. For angels only. Maybe Julies in the future? Want to get the angels to nickel-quarter size before selling.

Thanks

When I was into raising Bristlenose big time I used the clear 30 G rubbermaid tubs with a sponge filter to separate sizes and it worked just fine.

Welcome.The sponge filters will also provide tiny organisms to feed off of.

How many tubs do you think I would need?

Depends- are you going to let the parents keep them for a few days or pull the eggs and hatch them your self?
Angel fry need 50% of their water changed every day. If their water isn't kept near perfect their fins will be crooked.
So that said I would start with one 30G tub. Then in a couple of weeks depending on how many you still have maybe add another.
I bought mine at the dollar Store for $9 each

Once they go free swimming they will need 50% every day. They are a little more difficult to raise but well worth it
