Hey ! Im setting up a small breeding tank system with 3 10g's and I have the male and female tanks set up. I bought a tank at the garage sales my neighborhood had last weekend and it had a filter which used carbon and filter floss.
Question#1 What kind of filter would i use in the fry tank so that they dont get sucked in and ground up by a motor? In my other 2 tanks I have penguin mini's with bio wheels. ****Would the kind I got with the garage sale tank be a good choice or should i go with sponge filter.
Question#2 In the 10g i got first I now have 1 oto sucker fish in another post I read they should be in groups but.... He is already cleaned most of the tank by himself with 2 i think there would be a shortage of algea or is there more that I just cant see that he is feasting on? Should I get another oto?
Question#3 Should ,when I get the fry tank set up, I get an oto or 2 for it or will they wind up eating the guppy fry? what other fish will not eat the fry just to keep in there to keep the tank functioning, also for looks, my mom wants to "adopt a fish" of her choice so I want to know what I can put in there not to devour the fry.
Question#4 What kind of cover should I get for fry. Live plants, fake plants, homemade stuff (ex pvc pipe, yarn furry things. I heard a guy say that he had a box over in the corner with holes in it big enough for fry to swim through but not the guppy moms or dad. How big should a hole be??
Sry for some many questions
