In a rush to get out of my house at the moment so i'm just putting up a quick post and hoping to get some replies when i get back home. this is the first post and i'm hoping to get some great advice!
I have a 5 inch Yellow Lab. From what I've read, if the bottom fins are also black, its a male! So I assume i have a 5 inch male. It is in a 75 Gal. tank with 2 melanochromis johanni which are about 1.5 inches long, a red zebra which is 1.5 inches, an acei which is about 2 inches, 2 blue dolphins which are about 4 inches long and 4 algae eaters, they all get along fine and my water temp is good so are my water conditions.
I've been thinking about breeding my yellow lab but there's a few things i'm not sure about.
1. If i were to get a couple of female yellow labs, would they have to be the same size as my 5 inch male?
2. It would be okay to let them breed in my 75 gal tank then move the female to a holding tank while shes holding her eggs right?
3. If i was to move the female to a holding tank after her eggs were fertilized, would it be okay to just get 1 female because i wouldn't want to have 2 females holding fertilized eggs!! Plus if I moved the female to a holding tank it wouldn't have to deal with the aggression of the male anyways and that is the main point of getting more then 1 female per male right?
Any help would be great!! thanks!!
