Breeding HRP Project

Well I have a couple pairs of Houndouran Red Points, one pair that have been trying to breed. They are in a overstocked 120g with lots of other cichlids and other tropicals. I think I am going to finally set up the empty 29g and get them moved over this weekend.

If anyone is interested I may save a batch of fry to sell. I am breeding mostly for food for my larger fish but also for the experience of breeding them and the enjoyment! Just though I would pass it on to everyone! :fsh:

Ok I am going to get things going tomorrow. The tank (29g) will be moved in to the house tomorrow. It is out in the garage and all the equipment is soaking to make sure of no foreign materials hanging around. Here is a pic of it empty in the garage...don't mind the gravel it's ugly!
