A friend and I bred a bunch in a backyard rice paddy one summer in Hayward, Ca. We just tossed in a bunch and when we drained it in the fall there were more Also dojos, geisha girls, and zebra danios.

Im not 100% sure, but as someone said you can see the female's eggs.
and use something like java moss.
Also, a sand substrate helps because they burrow.
Just buy a few hundred and they'll be sure to breed.

well we charge $1.09/dozen. i don't know exactly how many come in a bag. probably around the 500 number.
by doing our normal "mark up", they would costs about $85.99/bag. now, we can most likely do a lot better than that, but i will have to defenately check with my boss and see.
i'll let you guys know tomorrow. i appreciate the interest.
alright, i checked today, and we can defenately sell them by the boxes. i asked my boss how many too, and he said he thinks it's 1,000 count. the amount is so deceiving. (s/p?) it will most likely be in the $50-70 dollar range. thats a hell of a discount considering they are $1.09/dozen. let me know what you guys think.
Damn thats really cheap! Even at $1.09 a dozen. They charge $0.30 a piece where I live!!!! I was actually thinking about trying to breed these little guys too. They do a great job cleaning up my piranha tank and it takes the p's awhile to knock them off.
