My so little breeding setup (wish me luck) :)

[Pancho]

So guys; I started to build a little 5 20g breeding setup on my basement; as some of you guys know I been buying fish from different SD sponsors and finally got some not confirm pairs; but before anything I want to be honest, I'm not near an expert or anything like that just an other simple guy in this hobby.
Being that said; so I'm doing it on my free time here and there:), I will post pictures as I can and please any comments and tips that can help me improve my little project will be appreciate.
In the mean time I'm trying at least to confirm my 4 unconfirmed pairs, hopefully by the end of this month will have an advance!!!

[Trier20]

Good luck! Hope they all confirm for you!

[DiscusLoverJeff]

Hope you get some nice pairs to confirm. It is always nice to see pairs that other people have.

Good luck!

[pastry]

Pancho, if you can, keep this as a journal. I'd love to follow this! The whole set up, strains, hick ups, discoveries, etc.

[Pancho]

Good luck! Hope they all confirm for you!
Thank you!!! :)

Nice setup Pancho, I setup a breeding room myself about 6 months ago. FYI - start planning for more tanks space.

sweeeeeet setup!!

[bonsai dave]

That is a neat looking set up . Good job can wait to see it completed..

[timmy82]

Good start. Yes plan for more tanks we started with 1 2 1/2 ft and now have over 50 tanks ranging from 2 ft to 8 ft and over 100+ Discus and now many other varieties of fish too.

[DiscusLoverJeff]

Great looking setup Pancho. I like the over-tank fill system or is that the return from your filtration system?

[Pancho]

sweeeeeet setup!!
Thanks!

Wow!!!

I will use for both! Little pluming skills:)

[DiscusDrew]

Nice and simple, I like it.... Just keep in mind you will need easily 10x the grow out capacity of water that you have in your breeders depending on how long you plan to grow out. If all is successful and when you get a feel for everything babies will start coming out faster than you want them to lol, just be ready! Good luck my friend.

Oh lol, you should have just contacted me yourself. I would have loved to speak with you. I'll be contacting Manny , if you want to keep in touch directly just pop me an email or call sometime my friend.

[nc0gnet0]

Murphy's law states that if you have 5 breeding tanks, they will all be succesfull at or around the same time. Nice Setup, but now lets see your growout tanks ;)

Rick

[DiscusDrew]

Lol Rick, thats truth right there.... when it rains is freaking POURS! So be ready because youll go and go and go, get frustrated, try playing music, dancing for them.... then you'll come in after water changes the next morning and find all 5 tanks with batches of 200 each.... Breeder beware!!

[manzpants92]

[Pancho]

Yes ;) :) . But what do you think it will come from Altum flora and albino red cover?
That's if they don't eat the fry :( :(

[pastry]

I don't know but if you get those two to do it then those may be your money makers right there, boss.

I'd like to guess Kenny & Forrest but that's nearly always my guess

[Darren's Discus]

Looking good.
Cheers

[Eddie]
