Hello, was wondering if it would be remotely possible to breed tandanus in a 3000ltr pond [largest i currently have] if dedicated to 1 pair only? I think it is not big enough but any thoughts welcome. Cheers shayne

I think it would be big enough but feel there would be other fairly significant factors to consider. The usual stuff.
Stress
Water quality
Temperature
Conditioning
Aggression
Sexual maturity
A boy and a girl... I know, I know... just saying.
My understanding is they will breed ok if given a few m2 but im not sure if the anacdotal information I have is accurate or whether or not hormone injection was necessary.
