I just started keeping one 0.1 Pastel Spark and am completely sold. What a fantastic animal! So, I've been reading a LOT and I'm thinking about progressing to a small breeding project. Now, this leads to some questions while preparing for such an adventure...
Off course the basis should be a rack and an incubator. My main concern now is about the rack and the tubs. I’m thinking of starting off with 1-2 males and 2-3 females, either het- or homozygote for a limited amount of morphs.
Now, how many tubs and what sizes should I start with? I am assuming 5-6 adult tubs for the breeders and 20 for the future offspring? And would two sizes be ok, or would you recommend 3-4 different sizes so they can grow into a different size during the years?
Since I’d like to start small I would prefer just one rack that would fit them all. Are they available? Most racks I see just have one size per rack. Any advice on that?
Or is it possible to keep more offspring in one big rack to reduce the need for more smaller tubs?
(questions about an incubator follow later…. ;-)).
Regards!
Frank
