Breeding Endlers

[mildew]

Hi
I recently bought some fish from my lfs which were labeled as Eyespot Rasbora. 3 of the 10 were, but the other seven looked nothing like the other three!

After much investigating I've discovered they are a strain of Endlers livebearers.
I'm curious about attempting to breed them but have no idea where to start?! If anybody could give me some advice:
tank size/setup, filtration, feeding, conditioning Etc it would be appreciated

Regards Rick

To breed get a tank with water but them in it and 4-6 weeks later you should have fry!!!!!!

Their quite simple and will breed with nothing special, good flake foods and some live foods are always good, and a sponge filter is best as poer filter will suck up and kill the fry.

for that number of fish u should have a 2' tank and with in 6 months it should be full.
The fry are fine with the parents if their well feed.
Do regular water changes and thats all u need
