9.2.11 The rearing tank
A rearing tank is not required with species that take care of their young, although they are still recommended. For species that do not take care of their young, the rearing tank can be the same tank as the spawning tank as long as the parents are removed. The rearing tank should have a protected heater, a sponge filter and plastic or live plants. In addition, three of the tank sides should be covered with black paper, because a light can encourage fungal infections and cause discomfort for the fry. The water in the rearing tank should be similar to the water used for spawning. |
