Have a 75 gallon tank with light oak stand and 90 gallon tank with Dark oak stand available for free in Sterling. You will have to bring labor to pick up. I am unfortunately not able to help after a coma a few years ago. Tanks are both full but no fish at this point so will need to coordinate so I can drain tanks. Kids stuff just takes up too much time so time for the tanks to find new homes. 75 does have a matching hood for tank.

Has anyone tried and had success at maintaining a scud population in a display tank featuring:
Plenty of small hiding spaces
Several live plants including floating
Driftwood, rocks, botanicals
Mild flow from small HOB or sponge filter
Small number of small fish and yes I know most any fish will eat anything they can fit in their mouth.
Guess it depends on what you mean by "maintaining". I've had scuds survive in tanks with active predatory fish, such as blackbanded sunfish, but only where the tank had a lot of moss and/or susswassertang. I thought the scuds were all eaten, but when I pulled some subwassertang out I found there were scuds in it.

Trying to get them to spawn now that they are settled in. Suggestions would be helpful.
I have not bred these, but if I were to do so I would set us a breeding tank with a grid on the bottom of a 2.5 or 5 gallon tank to protect any eggs since they are egg scatterers. I would use RO water, a small sponge filter, and put in some java moss on top of the grid. I would feed the parents live food---probably fresh baby brine shrimp every other day for a couple days. Then I would put the parents in the tank for a week, keep feeding them brine shrimp, remove them, and look for fry a couple weeks later. I expect the fry will be quite small and the really trick may be feeding the fry. Green water or parmecium might be the way to go.
Here is a picture of the parents. It does not do them justice---the fish are stunning in the tank on the black sand
. Usually the adults are black with a bit of red on the fins. But when they get stressed out their bodies lighten up.
