At the moment my hatchery contains ± 5000 Liters of water.

In the upper level are the breeding pairs kept. These tanks are 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm.

The tanks on the lower level are for the fry. The dimensions of the tanks are200 cm x 50 cm 5 60 cm.

Every day the water is changed, about 10%. For the water changing I have plastic bins in which the water is being treated.

The Breeding pairs are kept in water which has a pH of  5.5 and the conductivity is 200 - 300 microsiemens.

The fry is raised in tanks which are filled with tapwater, the pH is between 6.8 and 7.3.

All tanks are kept at a temperature of 28°C.

Every tank has its own filter. This is don to prevent the outbreak of diceases
