•  Broodstock tank question

  Author Message Frogfish Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 40 Joined: 5/16/2015 Location: Loveland, OH, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Broodstock tank question Saturday, December 5, 2015 3:19 PM (permalink) 0 I will be putting a dividing glass in a tank so I can have two pairs of broodstock. Is there a need to paint the glass so the two pairs don't see each other? Or is there no issues of seeing another pair of clowns that close?   #1 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Broodstock tank question Saturday, December 5, 2015 8:13 PM (permalink) 0 You'll want to do something so the pairs can't see each other. If they can see one another they will likely be too stressed out to spawn. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #2 Frogfish Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 40 Joined: 5/16/2015 Location: Loveland, OH, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Broodstock tank question Sunday, December 6, 2015 9:12 PM (permalink) 0 Any suggestions on the best way to paint or otherwise obscure the divider?   #3 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Broodstock tank question Sunday, December 6, 2015 11:25 PM (permalink) 0 You might try covering the divider with black plastic/vinyl that you would use on the back of an aquarium, black glass would be even better. I've used Krylon Fusion paint on pvc inside tanks before and haven't seen any ill effects although it will peel over time... use at your own risk.  http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #4 superfish Total Posts : 61 Scores: 0 Reward points : 183 Joined: 8/5/2014 Location: Chicago, IL, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Broodstock tank question Monday, December 7, 2015 7:36 PM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by Frogfish Any suggestions on the best way to paint or otherwise obscure the divider?   Originally Posted by Fishtal   You might try covering the divider with black plastic/vinyl that you would use on the back of an aquarium, black glass would be even better.
