I am willing to loan this pair out if anyone wants to try their luck. You will need a 20 gal tank, sponge filter, BBS.
This pair are good parent and they will not eat their eggs or fry.

I will not be at the may meeting but I have some fry if anyone wants some let me know.

Do you want to try your luck with the breeding pair or do you just want some fry?

You can do both?

I would like to say welcome to start with. We are glad to have you on board.
This is a good pair for the beginner,
Put these in a tank ( at least 20 gal) and they will do the rest.
I am not sure what your experience is with breeding. Are you a old pro or a beginner. I can walk you through everything if you need help.

The pair is a gold severum male and a green severum female, All of your babies will be green severums.

This pair is a loaner, try your luck raise a few batches and return them for someone else can give it a try.
If you are interested you have to attend a meeting.

Mark

yes some...have had multiple community tanks with mollies, guppies etc.
Also had convict cichlids that were very easy to breed.

Not sure what a sponge filter is.......I have filters with cartridges that I change....but not sure it is the same....I would be willing to get one though if you could tell me what it is?

This is a filter with a sponge on it. It cleans the tank without sucking up the fry.

Any pet shop will have them, I would go to Marine Aquatics if it was me. They run less the $15

You will need a tank, 20 gal or bigger, some bbs eggs or micro worms a sponge filter. I can help you out with the bbs eggs or micro worms if you need them.

You will also need a second tank to seperate the fry from the You should buy the sponge filter now and put it in one of your established tank.
