When it comes to breeding fish, or even just caring for fish in general, equipment selection can make or break your success. Poor quality filters can break down and frustrate you as well as put your fish in danger. Improperly setup equipment can lead to malfunction, flooding, and even electrocution. Bad choices in the heating department (placed incorrectly, wrong type of filters, etc) can lead to fluctuating temperatures and, in some extreme cases, to fish stew.
Yes, filter type, brand choices, and method of filter setup, are vital aspects of successfully setting up and running a breeding aquarium. On the page "Breeding Cichilds: Step Two", we will discuss, filter types (canister, HOB, internal, etc), heater types (glass, plastic covered, in-line, etc), and the possible necessity of a fry growout tank.
