    smallest I would suggest is a 20L but I'm sure plenty get them to breed in their nano tanks. the eggs will need to be removed to a separate fry tank to be raised if your gonna have any long term success at more than providing some extra protein to the breeding tanks inhabitants :jester:

    20L = 20 gallon long. The 50 gallon will make water conditions easier to maintain as you condition the parents into breeding condition.
