I really appreciate your input though, while there are certainly the ideal/technical ways of doing it they have to live in the wild somehow. (obviously that is on a much larger scale and we can only recreate it to the best of our abilities) I was feeling quite discouraged and was contemplating...
I definitely need to add more plants to the tank or at least faster growing ones as I bought 3 different potted crypts and split them out, turns out I have around 30 in that tank right now... (split up my existing crypt and got 7 from that one, plus one plant is sending out a runner) Got so much...
Thank you for your reply! That definitely seems like a very fun tank to have. I recently spoke to the person I would be selling to and he has been incredibly reasonable, and explicitly stated he isn't necessarily looking for high yield breeders as he breeds himself and knows what it's like...
Ah I see, thank you. I wasn't sure if they worked kind of like shrimp where you can cull in order to improve the color over time through selection and stuff like that. I'm relatively new to fishkeeping although I did have some tanks around 8 years ago but those were less than ideal lol, so...
Thank you for your reply! That sounds like a pretty ideal situation but unfortunately I don't have the space or money to get any additional tanks or other supplies necessary for one. I do have a 10 gallon I could separate the female to though if the 40 really needed to be kept as purely a...

Thanks for your reply! I wasn't trying to focus on yield or anything, and I was only meaning to raise one batch of fry at a time. I'm researching how to cull this breed in order to provide really healthy fish with excellent color. The person buying the fish is a local person who is looking for...
Hello all! I am brand new to this forum and was wanting to ask a question regarding a. Borelli breeding. While I do not currently have these fish I have a 40 gallon breeder that I will be setting up specifically for a pair of them, it will be only them in this tank along with...
