Aquarium Lighting Planted

After setting up the tank, adding water, testing your gear and allowing it to run for a few days, such live material can be added to it.

The breeding aquarium should be 80 cm in length or larger, with some suspended and anchored plants. The aquarium should be filled with about 15-20cm of water with no air or filtration, temperature 29C. Up to 2000 eggs can be laid in one spawning.
