TankCommander Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I went to the Calgary auction this past weekend on the advice of a friend and found it interesting to see the array of fish and plants that are out there that you don’t see in the various stores. I have a 120 gallon community tank which features lots of smaller fish types (various tetras, cherry barbs, hatchet fish, zebras, danios, guppies, platies…). I like to take fish from my community tank and see if I can get the conditions right for them to breed and raise the various little ones in one of my other tanks – I have had success with things like black skirt tetra, various danios, I even had bettas breed but I was unsuccessful at raising the little ones. I also got over run with Ameca Splendens (I think I have the name right) at one point. Always looking for suggestions on fish that would make a good project Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Welcome! that's a Huge community tank! Are you interested at all in the Cichlids (African/South American/Central American)? They can be very neat to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankCommander Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks everyone for the friendly welcome As for the suggestion of Cichlids, they scare me (probably not fully justified as I don't know a lot about them and there are lots of different types) as my main fear are the little tetras in my main tank. Any others ideas as to what would be good project fish to try and breed as a beginner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Cories and angelfish can be fun to breed as they are quite interesting to watch. Mollies are quite happy with calgary water and I scoop fry out of my community tank on a regular basis. There's also some rarer livebearers that can be raised with their fry like the girardinus too. I love baby fish!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
