I'm planning on getting a heavily planted 29 gallon tank.
Are angle fish easy to breed? If I got a pair would there be a problem with them breeding in a 29 gallon tank?
Or are rainbow fish easy to breed too? I can't decide what fish I want! Any recommendations?
If you are intentially trying to breed fish, you don't want to have a heavily planted tank unless your planning on Barbs or Tetras, Rainbows or livebearers. (Barbs and Tetras are not extremely easy but not very difficult either.)
You also need to keep in mind that if you are intending on breeding angels, you will only have the 2 fish in the tank. Breeding pairs of almost any fish become aggressive towards their tankmates and are best kept to themselves.
Successfully rearing Angel fry will be difficult if you have them in such a setup as well. They need to be able to find food on a constant basis. A heavily planted tank does not allow for this.
I'd suggest that if you intend on the planted tank, make a nice collection of fish and enjoy the serenity
. If you want to breed fish, do a bit more research on the proper ways of breeding the different varieties you are interested in.
FYI: The tank is too small for breeding most africans, too large for breeding most Tetras and Barbs, WAY too large for Bettas and EXTREMELY too small for oscars and the wrong setup for breeding Gouramis. (I've commercially bred all these fish.) Convict cichlids would do okay in this sized tank but will probably tear up the plants.
Hope this helps
