parameters are vital ammonia and nutrite
0:39
levels should be at zero while nitrate
0:42
should be kept below 20 parts per
0:44
million a robust filtration system is
0:47
essential to maintain these conditions
0:49
temperature plays a significant role in
0:51
ki breeding the ideal spawning
0:53
temperature ranges from 68 to 74° F
0:58
gradual temperature increases in Spring
1:00
often trigger breeding Behavior

fluctuations can stress the fish and
1:07
hinder breeding efforts space and
1:09
