I have a standard 40 gallon tank, I used black diamond sand, have it pretty heavily planted, I have a large piece of driftwood in the center along with 7 cichlid stones spread out. The tank currently has 2 adult females that I am moving out to my community tank, this week I have 7 Juvenile GBR coming and I'm planning on using this tank for them to try to get some pairs and successful spawns.
Is this tank big enough with enough hiding places for that many rams? I have seen mixed opinions on this on several forums and would like to see what everybody thinks.
I do want to breed my rams and I do have a 20 gallon long and a 5 gallon tank on standby as a fry/grow out tanks.
Can I leave all of the paired up rams (hopefully I'll end up with 3 pairs) in the 40 gallon and have them breed in the tank with other pairs present? I'm hoping to get lucky enough to get some parent raised fry and then move them to the 20 long to grow out. Has anyone had any luck breeding with this type of setup?
