I am breeding cyprichromis. And would love suggestions on the best tank set up. Individual tanks. Or a tank split in 3 parts . I would ultimately like one tank divided in 3 parts that would be ideal. But I'm unsure how to do this. The 3 sections must not be able to have fry move from one to another.

So I did a major no no and set up a 5.5G with a male and female multi. They have now matured and are breeding like champs so obviously the 5.5 isn't going to cut it much longer. Some of the fry are already about 1/3 full grown. So my question is how do I move the little dudes? I'd like to move everyone as a group so there's no issues in a larger tank but don't want to hurt the fry and some of them are still pretty small. If I just move the adults and wait for the fry to mature is this going to cause aggression issues when I finally introduce them to the larger tank? Thanks for any advice as I'm kicking myself as I did know better and still put them in a too small tank to grow as a family.

Hi everyone, 2 months ago I put a LFS BN pleco in our malawi cichlid fry tank. Everything seemed to be going well for a while (pretty much the whole two months). Tank levels were normal i.e. ammonia 0, nitrates 0, nitrites 0. He/She was doing a great job of keeping the tank clean than all off a sudden dead. I believe I noticed him/her dead very shortly as no tank levels had spiked. Pleco seemed happy and was supplemented with some NLS wafers a couple times a week. The only thing I can think of is that the pH levels were too much for it as I keep it at 8.2 for the cichlids. I've read various articles stating that this was fine for the plecos and also not fine for them. Seeing it was doing so well I never thought much of it. Anyone else had much experience with plecos in high pH levels. I have a common pleco in my 90G cichlid tank that is at a consistent 8.2pH with no problems for almost a year now, it is over 9 inches. Does the size make a difference or should I be looking for some outside circumstance. Thanks for the response

Hey y'all, So after struggling getting my Platys to give birth successfully in my community tank I have finally succeeded a couple weeks ago. By the time I got home from I noticed 5 fry swimming in the bottom of the breeding trap... My angelfish staring right at them (I'm sure he made a meal out of whichever found their way out) Anyways... So i moved them into a little two and a half gallon tank thAt I pulled water from my established tank for and placed filter media in it. They have been in there for roughly 3 weeks and have grown a considerable amount but are still small. I am wondering how big I should let them get before placing them in the community tank.? P.s. I have a fair bit of floating plants...
