Imo you need more, they have to pair off and that mite not happen if u only have 1 female but who knows. Try and find more of the same size to add and be sure there are top cover plants for the juvies to hide out and keep them all well fed if they breed!

Pics pics and heyhow about pics?

Size don't matter but they have to be over year old if not two. Id bet you have a m & f with 5fish. That's pretty good odds. Problem with pond is it'll be hard to tell they spawned till a month later when you spot 1/2"ers maybe even longer.
 
i always go with a shoal 12 min for breeding make sure you have no pleco in pond as it will eat eggs and put fish that are same size or almost like a 1/8 of a inch smaller.. im wondering if ican breed them in a 75 gallon anyone have any luck with that?

12 in a 75 gallon? NO


5 max in that size tank, and yes I've heard of a shoal breeding in a 40b!
