Just an idea. You do not need fish tanks to hold spawn. I have seen stock tanks, Rubbermaid tubs, ect. Anything that will hold water and you can put a sponge filter in. Given it is clean. IDK about the possibility of anything leaching from material, but stock tanks are much larger, cheaper, and made for water.

50 Gal, 72.99
300 gal, 249.99

sure you can even find something cheaper. Galvanized ones are a bit cheaper yet.

it is a very good idea and i have thought about them however i dont have the room for them, with the breeder tanks i can make a stand that holds 3 tanks and will be able to have 6 breeder tanks! if i do a cattle troph i can only have one, i normally have 3-4 pairs breeding at once and atleast that going back into my 300 gallon! i keeo rotating them cus i was loosing alot of females keeping them in their own tank
