i have about half a dozen peppies that i bought at the Christmas auction last year so it would have been the 08 one these were just 3cms at that time now if i want to breed them can i put them all in one 24x24x24 with four caves or should there only be two in each tank??

Hi Neil

First I would ask how big are your peppy's now and what is the sex ratio. I find my breeding males tend to be very teritorial and although they havn't harmed each other I have stuck to the safer side (seperation). My personal opinion is a 2 foot cube is to small for 6 adult pep's. I would seperate into trio's if you have the correct ratio. 1M-2F

The other thing you have to remember is that it isn't the size, but the age, they need to be atleast 18 - 24 months old.

hmm ok well it looks like i maybe 6-12 months early thanks for the help will right again around Christmas.

I have had pretty good sucess with using 1 cave for each male in the tank ..seems to work well with all my catties.
