John, your water in a tank with some folating and some sinking mopps, Feed
the hell out of them, the eggs are semi adhisive like rainbow eggs, do a
good water change when the female is fat.It takes five days for eggs to
hatch. After a week they are free swimming and raise like you were doing
rainbows. The water must be soft that is the key.... Oh yeah remove the
adults when you have eggs.
