cichlidkid Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 ok I am fed up with my jewels. A few of you know the jewels I took home from the last auction. the male is 3"ish and the female is 2"ish. Do you think I could breed them in a 10 gallon tank? They get allong great so im not to worried about aggression. what is their favorite parameters and substrate? How should the tank be set up? or maybe if the 10 gallon wouldnt work out I could get someone to lend me a 20 or so gallon tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I'd it's way too small. Maybe 20 long or a 15 breeder would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) A 10 gallon is far too small to breed this species in. An ideal set up would be a tank that's at least 36" long. This article might help ...... http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/h_guttatus.php Edited January 8, 2005 by RD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
