So sorry for my inactivity. Work has been crazy. I agree they need high protein. I feed them a varied diet of new life flake food with garlic, algae wafers, bloodworms, and homemade shrimp and spinach sinkers. They also dine on the occassional dried brine shrimp. Frequent water changes seem to...

Good luck! They are really something else! Good filtration, frequent water changes (10-20% weekly), a varied diet and keeping the temp between 71-73F seemed to work wonders. Moss for spawning as well as java ferns is where I see most of the eggs deposited. They didnt spawn when I had no moss but...

Shrimp and spinach sinkers 16-20 small shrimp 1/2 cup blanched spinach 1 sm section of garlic (pierced for juice) 1/2 crushed multivitamin 2 packets of unflavored gelatin Corys, danios and glass shrimp love it! http://youtu.be/SHLo5R-8-BY

Update: all fish doin fine. pH: 7.8 Ordering some peat moss granules to make a media bag. Will start with a small amount, test regularly and readjust.

Waterchange = 15 more eggs. Largest output since they started spawning. :)

It was afternoon, lights were still on. I usually observe them on a schedule too. Nothing was out of the ordinary

The adultd are approximately 6-8 months old. Full bodied, female a bit larger. No issues on skin, barbels or fins. They were in a community tank with danios and got a mix of flake food, algae wafers (they love em), baby brine shrimp and blood worms. Feeding is typically one small meal daily...
