Dont even bother putting them in a 10 Gal.

You'll just get a bunch of unhappy BGK's, as for breeding them I done it accidently. But I only had 1/100+ survive.

Its near impossible to do it, and the only reason I done it was because it was accidental, I would not suggest trying to breed them it'll only burn a hole in your pocket, and its sheer luck if you get a male & female.

I would suggest breeding something easier, like Guppies or Bristlnoses then working your way up from them, otherwise your just going to be killing fish.

P.S ( I had a 125 Gal Tank, Was full of Bristlenoses & It was murky, always in a dark room & it was almost practically silent. I didnt even feed the babies anything, because I didnt know they were in there, they ended up eating what I was feeding to the bristlenose, and the bristlenose were only in the tank for 6 weeks, whilst I got a new setup for them + I was only hoping that some of my bristlenose would have been eaten by the BGK's )
