Hi

I have some questions about fry/grow out tanks. I currently have a newly set up 55g tank with 5 yellow labs and 9 soon to be 12 Demosoni. I want to attempt to breed both species. Questions are:

1: how do I keep the nursery/fry tank cycled if there are no holding fish in it? (Sorry if it's a silly question).

2: is a 20 gallon 2ft tank big enough to put the holding female in and grow the fry out to either sell or put into the 55g?

Thanks all

Ok I do have a 30 gallon running but it has a small community in it currently.....maybe I can regime them. I have another question is that's ok. I'm running two internal filters on my 55 until my canister turns up, one is an ocean free hydra 20. One of these water depurifier filters. It's for up to 100 litres, if I put some tights over the inlet do you think that would work so fry don't get sucked in or is it too much u think? Here's a photo of it in my 55.

Apologies....no I won't be keeping fry in my 55g. I meant I could remove the hydra filter which is my second filter I am running on my 55 and put it in the nursery tank, that way I have a cycled filter ready to use as and when. Yes it is for fish tanks, just a new type of filter...ocean free hydra filters (have a look online). The hydra has 400 gph which is probably way too high for the 20g nursery tank. Think I need to buy a small sponge filter.
