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.

Scuds in display 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.

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.
