I have just finished setting up 4 large marina breeder boxs for my CPO juvieniles. These are great for keeping them separated and happy while they get bigger.

Hoping to breed them in a few months. I counted 10 females and 2 males. :smile:

Very nice! As adults they only need about .5g of space to themselves.

that's a great idea. ive been using the deepblue 5 partition tank but oen of them has the ability to traverse into the other compartments... i have absolutely no idea how she does it LOL

Uh oh! Albert, I'm moving my two CPOs into a DBP 1 gallon tank with the partition down the middle. Hope mine don't ghost travel.

i seriously have no idea. ive noticed that she scales the sides of the partition but as soon as i come near, she flurries away. she's likely visiting all the boys next door. a smart one she is... the boys arent so clever

My female and male are doomed not to breed I think.

But that's ok. I just hope she recovers.

Watch out they can get thru if they want too. I brought home a pair from an auction, male and female, and put them into one of these breeder boxes..guess I didn't put the lid down quite tight enough, because next am I found the male in the females section and she was Berried!!!

I have these fixed quite well so that the babies don't climb over, but once they are big enough I will have to give them each a tank of their own.

They can push up the lid, and also lift up the partitions when they get bigger.

Juveniles don't need to be separated though. It's only breeding age adults that fight to the death

Liam I thought that too, but unfortunately most of mine are females and they had torn legs off each other by the time I got them home yesterday:icon_mad:

Dumb guy at the store put them all in one bag with NO plants to separate them or give them something to hang onto. I asked for plants and got elastic bands instead!!!

Even when I was slowly netting each one to move them into the boxes, they were jumping on each other, claw to claw, so I felt it best to just separate them all...I have the room in these boxes right now, so might as well use them up.

Just noticed a few have molted already.
