A few days ago I found some old algae wafers lying around and decided to get add some bristlenose to one of my smaller tanks. Within about 10 seconds, I returned home with 5 young calicos between 5-6cm. Right now I have them in a quarrantine tub (tupperware... at least it's food-grade) with an airstone. Not to keen on putting meds with them unless I actually notice something wrong. They're going to be in a 3 x 1 x 1 with a butis butis, who i had to move recently. I was just wondering what I can do now to encourage them to breed once they mature.

Right now, my temp sits at 26 Celcius, 7.0pH and the water has a moderate amount of salt added.
 
Also, what size can i expect calico b/n to start maturing?
