African Butterfly Breeding?

[Darth Scohin]

So I now have a Male&Female Pantodon Bulchholzi and I've read the TFH Article on them nigh page to page twice.....It states that a simple water change may induce spawning...My question is does that water have to be RO/nuetral water, as my Tap is 7.8/250ppm GH 180ppm KH or should I get another Female

AC20-20Hgal frogbit, riccia and duckweed with flake and once a week crickets/bloodworms

Here's what I've found in the past:

Hardness: 8-12° dGH
Ph: 6.5 to 7.0
Temp: 77-82° F (25-28° C)

These fish are rather difficult to breed and peat filtration is recommended. Feed a pair with a large variety of live foods to induce spawning. Once spawning begins, 3 to 7 eggs will be produced at each pass. The eggs will float to the surface where you can use a spoon to transfer them to another aquarium. The pairing will continue for some time with a total of 80 to 200 eggs dropped per day. The eggs will hatch in about 36 hours. The fry are difficult to raise as they will only eat foods that float directly in front of their mouths.
