this case i will take male to keep in jar of almond leave water, around 5 days and try to breed again ..

don't make your male fish scare .... u should put male and female to breed at evening and feed them before night, don't feed them as breeding ..

Your post didn't make much sense sorry, I don't really need any advice about what to and not to do at the moment seeing as I've already had a sucessful spawn, but thanks for your input anyway. What I did obviously worked well enough to get them to spawn. Each to their own I say, what ever method works for you stick to it.

I got them to spawn without a heater in the tank aswell, so it goes to prove you don't need one if you live in a warm climate (the temperature here in the middle of summer keeps the water at the perfect temp for spawning between 80 and 82F)

If your water in the tank is cool the fry will grow much slower and come down with velvet or Ick easier.

The water in the tank is always between 75-82 F I have a themomitor set up in the tank and it's still really hot here so I think they'll be fine. They've grown heaps in the past week it's amazing. I've transfered them all into a smaller plastic strage container coz the spawning tanks seems to get dirty too easy and it's harder to catch the fry to clean it out. I've done an initial count of how many I have and i got to 81 before i felt like I was counting some twice (they kept moving). I'm having major problems keeping my bbs alive at the moment. The fry had to go without food for 24 hrs coz all the bbs died and I hadda hatch some more. I did feed the bbs but they still died. I'm still going to buy a heater when I get paid this week, so hopefully that will help keep the water temp a little more constant and they can grow faster.

You need to run two BBS hatcherys so you have fresh BBS everyday. Use one hatchery of BBS today while the other one is hatching. Tomorrow use the other one while the one you used today is hatching. YOu have to change the water and add fresh eggs after each day.
