Black water extract and driftwood should help. Otherwise, go with warmer temps than normal, some live food, very clean water, and some plants to catch eggs. Good luck!

Egg trap highly advisable! Soft, slightly acidic water, temp 82F, condition parents with LOTS of live food, and use bushy plants in the aquarium such as Cabomba. A big clump of Java Moss will also be useful in helping keep the egg eating parents from snacking on too much caviar!  Fry are likely to be somewhat sensitive to water changes, make them gradual if you end up with fry. And make sure you have an infusoria culture ready to feed them with beforehand!  |
