The following article is taken from Webrbiz [http://www.webrbiz.com/angelfish/tankware.html#bare%20bottom]
The Bare Bottom all glass aquarium is the choice of the top Angelfish breeders. It is without a doubt the easiest tank to keep clean and is able to provide the highest stocking rates . It is in the bare bottom tanks that many of the beautiful Angelfish we enjoy today have as their origin. Many of the advances in Angelfish breeding has occurred because of the ease in which the bare bottom tank can be cleaned and water quality maintained. In the top hatcheries the breeders drill holes in the these tanks and have them connected to a central water changer or drip system. The best of the larger breeders keep their tanks spotless. Central water changers and drip systems are often not practical options in most homes that house Angelfish Micro Hatcheries. What we AMH owners can do is an excellent and often better job of keeping our tanks spotless.
In the Angelfish Micro Hatcheries housed in our homes we too can benefit from the use of bare bottom tanks. They have a contemporary high tech look that looks good in most modern homes. We too can also take advantage bare bottom tanks improved stocking rates that are necessary to be successful in our own hatcheries. Husbandry is the key to the Angelfish Micro Hatchery and bare bottom aquariums makes it easier.
The Angelfish Micro Hatchery suggest that in addition to the Angelfish Show Tank you also have at least 3 bare bottom tanks. Aquarium size is important for the efficiency of the Angelfish Micro Hatchery. We suggest a different size aquarium for each function. The three functions are housing the breeding pair , provide a place for the hatching of eggs and growing out fry .
