Hi Dennis,
Point by point mate :) A sponge filter is all you will
probablt want for any normal, planted tank. They usually spawn in nature in
the morning. If you have them in an environment where you can trick them
into thinking it's morning, with lighting etc., then they'll virtually spawn
when you want them too. If the fish are healthy, and the tank is clean, the
males will seem to display and chase the females continually. At least as
long as you can see them, because they will interpret the light you use for
vision, as daylight.Some females will be either too young, or too depleted
to spawn. Much like the human variety :) Flame me now girls. I know, after
that statement, you will :) They aren't silly questions. We all had to learn
sometime :)
Regards,
Ken.
