Community Spawning fish you should try it

[Itiwhetu]

I love community spawning fish my tank has been set up for that, this is a photo of my Discus with the baby Black Phantom tetras. I started with 10 Black Phantoms now I have around 40. I am hoping the Discus will spawn this summer. I have Pygmy Cory's in this tank as well, although I have seen no young I know they have been spawning. The only other fish I have is a pair of Royal Whiptails that just act weird with each other.

Not sure if my black phantoms have spawned at all or if the lemon tetras just eat the eggs....wish they would, i love black phantoms and they tend to be kinda hard to find in my area.

I’ve never had any tetras breed for me. Phantoms havnt worked out either. Bought 10 and only 1 survived qt.the discus breed regularly but never get past wigglers.my bosemani bred regularly too and these i have saved before the other fish ate them and I just had bushy nose plecos bred. Well over a hundred. Most got eaten but I’ve still got about 20 spread about in all my tanks.

My 75 community tank has had diamond tetras magically appear. I have no idea where they are laying the eggs. Started with 4, last count was over a dozen....wife moved a few into a 55 gallon to lessen the load on the 75 as its kinda well stocked....

The trick to community spawning fish is lots of plant

I also had these Silver Dollars breeding with Emarald Green Cats and Sterbai Cats at the same time. This is Mum Dad and the kids in a 300 liter tank

I have had a few emperor tetras that managed to survive and grow up in my planted community tank, and two diamond tetras in another tank with quite large cichlids in it, one of the small ones later disappeared though. I had fry from pencilfish, but only when I removed some water lettuce to an empty tank then a few fry appeared. They spawn in the community tank but no fry have survived, although the tank is densely planted. Cichlids (with a few exceptions) don’t usually get them beyond a few days free swimming in a community tank.

Platys keep dropping babies
GBRs have laid eggs 4 times
Florida flag fish
