breeding tanks-
tanks regardless of size does not matter, as long as you're convenience with it.
water level-
fill up as much water as you can afford. as long as it is safe and clean for your pair. do daily 50% WC will be sufficent.
aireation-
should be at its minimum. like 20% of your normal aireation and place the airstone as far away from your pair's suspected spawn area.(place where they clean up most)
feeding-
, live tubifex worms is a good alternative since some don't beleive or can't afford pro-more but those worms need to be clean up really clean. usually i start feeding them the worms 3days after i kept n cleaned those worms.
just feed your pair once a day.
observation-
as the grand master breeder once adviced me, LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! just check if there are any eggs before you feed and before WC.
spawn !!!-
cover the eggs with wire mesh as what you might do later can frighten them and eat up the eggs.
cover the front part of the tank using white paper about 7"-10" wide from top to bottom of tank.
no WC, NO PEEPING ! LEAVE THEM ALONE! wait until 3rd day than peep. if no wrigglers, it's ok, try again. if there is, LEAVE THEM ALONE ! again for another 3days. by then you will notice free swimmers everywhere swimming aimlessly. with the small light bulb switch on 24hrs and hope for lady luck to be by your side , some frys will start to attach to pair. slowly . they are not like ormal frys. even the intermediates will attached aerlier. it can take the albinos 10-14days from eggs to attached frys !!
