just use shells. try to make sure the shells are big enough for the female to fit inside but too small for the male. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUyejP8ffo this is a video of our white calvus breeding tank

I agree with pappy I just recieved a order from that site and love the prices and quality of what I got. My Comps love shells I have a toaster but I think thats for when they get bigger.

Greenearth - Do you condition the other female that is not guarding any eggs? I see she is hiding, will the other female do the same after the wigglers are out of the shell?

Clay pots work great too. You can add holes in to the pots for additional entrances as needed.

We continue to feed them nls every day and blood worms a couple days a week or more, both females have spawned right after one another usually~ they hide when the male wants to spawn but they aren't ready the rest of the time they are guarding the shell and their fry but after a month the females will eat the fry as well we learned that the hard way so now we have to separate them all from the fry once they are starting to come out from shell! they are very fragile fry and hard to raise as well so we are still trying our best to learn how to best raise the fry~
