Did it once. You need a tank with marbles in the bottom and lots of plants. Put the fat female in with a couple of males and when they're ready they'll start tearing around and through the plants and end up spawning among the leaves.

The marbles are so eggs can fall between them and the adults can't get to them. After you think they've spawned move the adults to a different tank. A week or ten days later you'll start seeing these itty bitty double specks. That's the eyes of the impossibly small fry. I fed them liquid fry food, then switched to crushed flakes.

Good luck, Mike
