Do you use 29's?

[RogueDiscus]

As I allowed the hobby to grow over time (euphemism for addiction ), I bought several 29's to use as breeders. I'm not using them currently, and at this point I'm just using 55's and 75's. I need to set up a 29 as a hospital or quarantine, but wondering if folks use them for much else. I'm kind of using John's "move the parents" method with my breeders; they spawn in the 55's, and when ready, I move the parents and the fry get the tank.

I use 29's for breeding pairs.

You can try and use them as breeder tanks and put them to use.

They are mostly used as breeding tanks. I'll be getting a couple more later this week. I prefer breeding in 40 cubes but I'll breed in anything from a 29 to a 65 wide. I don't have any 55's. I don't like the shape of them. Not enough surface area for my taste.

I used 20G for breeding and quarantine.

I have 20's but I only use them for breeding Angels. I know that they are large enough for Discus breeding. Lots of people use them. IMO they aren't large enough for a big pair and a lot of fry for very long before you have to move them to a larger tank.

I had a pair breed just fine in my 27g hexagon so i dont see why not

I prefer 40 breeders, which are much easier to clean. As Liz says, I think 29's are too small to keep water quality clean for fry.

I use 40's also. I use 29's for breeding angels.
