I'd leave labyrinths myself, they are a bit fiddly and a spawn of 40 odd (small spawn) would need more than a 10 to grow out in. What about fancy guppies? I know it sounds childish and below you, however, i think if you choose the right parent stock, you could be onto a good thing I saw imported trios going for about $40 recently. This is the beginning of the guppy craze For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

More than likely, you'll just be using an air powered sponge filter and either little to no substrate, or marbles.

As many fish will eat their fry, and some will not spawn as long as there are more fry in the tank. Some fry, as they grow, will eat any new smaller fry in the same tank too. Out of my 100 tanks, 20 are nothing but grow out tanks, and about 15-20 more are fry tanks. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...

Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	you could try the other fish bidding site, no zebra plecs on there yet tho. but there is a WANTED section, so you could request in there.
