Do I need to trim the tail of Male Halfmoon shorter before spawning?
In a matter of fact its personal preference, I have seen long tail halfmoon breed successfully and vice versa. The trimming however is believed to reduce the ‘burden’ of the male halfmoon as some tails are extremely long and considering the spawning is a tedious process that can prolong for hours that may affect the success rate of it. Anyhow use common sense if you will to practice trimming. Trim to a length the fish is still comfortable swimming.
