F fishlvr Feeder Fish MFK Member Oct 26, 2006 330 0 0 on MFK and NANFA Dec 15, 2007 #2 Key to breeding: a male and a female Key #2: Soft, acidic water Key #3: Live and/or frozen foods. Key #4: High temp. (84F) If you give the a clay flowerpot they will likely breed in that. They'll also breed in substrate pits and on flat stones that they uncover.
