gino123456 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi guys just wondering which would be better, I have a colony of yellows which havent bread for me as of yet. Now i have them in a 5ft tank with cobolt blues and mainganos (colones) now would it be better to put them in a 3ft tank by themselves or i have a 6ft tank divided in 3 and i could put them in there, the problem i think im having with them is there is a few fish in the tank and they r having troubles finding there own territorys. What do u think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L127 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 have a few things they all can hide in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobcas Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have found e. yellows will spawn anywhere, even in very crowded community tanks so IMO I don't think your issue really lies there. I think a bit more information might help someone give you the answer, things like; How old are they and how many males to females do you have? How long have you had them for? Are your Cobalts or Mainganos breeding?? Cheers Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino123456 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 The Mainganos and Cobolts have but they all have been moved around a fair bit so they havent had to to establish themselves in the tank. They r also young and i know that will take time too, but in saying that the breeder that i bought my yellows off (we split the colony in half) his r breeding and they were only 3cm fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
