Can I breed my Tropical fish in a Biorb?
Hi, I recently took up the hobby of keeping tropical fish after not doing too well at it a few years back. My dad had a 60 l (15 Gallon) Biorb lying around which he was going to throw out so i used that! things are going very well in there now i have, 4 rosey tetra, 6 glow light tetra, 2 tuxedo swordtails (male and female), 2 red swordtails (again both male and female) oh and an albino pleco. I know its a bit cramped but i do plan to upgrade within the next year. I heard that swordtails breed like crazy and i was wondering if that was likely in this some what odd shaped fish tank? i do have lots of plants and a cave i made with a dark top. Is there a breeding trap i can use that will work in a Biorb? should I buy a small tank? should i buy some of that floating grass stuff and let nature be cruel? (i think my pleco may take a likeing to it though?) i just really wanted to know based on my other fish and set up of my tank what my odds were? id love it if they got jiggy lol

try to get a refugium or trap since i know most of those fish will eat small or live fish(even eggs). see if you female has a fat belly. the swordtail tend to be picky when breeding. most will refuse. here is a VERY good website. read all about the swordtails. it will help.
try to read all of them
Swordtails do like to breed. You should get a tank to raise the babies in.
The 15 gallon really is too small. You can do well with a 30 gallon or bigger.
