Twenty nine gallons would be preferable (with more space being better, of course), but breeding can probably be accomplished in a twenty gallon. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

As Sin in Style said, the female may be placed alone in a 10Gal. once holding to safetly spit out the fry. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	A number of small shelldweller species (Africans from Lake Tanganyika) can happily live and breed in a ten gallon, including N. multifasciatus, N. brevis, N. similis, L. signatus, L. meleagris, L. ocellatus (which has a gold form not unlike Yellow Labs, but shinier), and a few others. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
