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

    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!!!

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

    Good luck!

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

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

    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.
    Thanks Timmy

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

    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.
