We were about to hijack Mike's Christmas surprise thread, so I brought the topic over here.
Tom C ..... Would you mind outlining how you set up Copella sp. for spawning? I am working with C. vilmae right now, and will be setting up some more species in a few weeks.
I am using a 33-gallon long (48"x13"x13") for the C. vilmae. I have a tight glass top on the tank and the water is dropped to about 3" under the glass. I am hoping to get the fish to use the glass canopy as an egg laying site. I will try to get a picture of the set up. The species is pretty aggressive, and I was trying to keep two males in with about 6 females... but I have pulled the 'beater male' and reduced the female count to 4.
