If you place an egg in the Alien Containment Unit, it will take about 2-3 days to hatch. You have to find the eggs in the wild; captive fish will not lay eggs (but they will breed if there are at least two of the same species and there is enough room in the tank).

Fish will not lay eggs in captivity. If they can breed, baby fish will just appear. But the crabsnakes are quite large; I forget exactly how much of the tank's capacity they take up, but you may need the large tank (made by adding additional rooms with tanks tanks one top of the other, or by constructing the Alien Containment Unit inside a large habitat room) to have more than 2 or 3 at once.

ok i think i made 3? (maybe?) or more which i would say is that is a good amount, and i think that 3+ helps with large which i am trying to tame (well more of raise in cantonment)

In my experience, any creature that lays eggs will do so in captivity. If you have at least two of them in your tank, eventually more eggs will appear.

Small fish / food fish in ACU will just multiply, while you are out of the room. Over several days.

Medium fish, hatched from eggs placed in the ACU, will also lay eggs in the ACU after a few days. Assuming you have at least two of them. The additional eggs won't hatch until there is enough tank capacity. For medium's, I think a standard ACU will only support 2 mediums.

I always build double ACU's.

Well i build it on top of each other and see where it goes, and i then release them and a lot of other fish as well so they can “eat” when hungry and yes i know video game and it is an ai, but can’t it be interesting to some people?
