I've only had these guys a few days, so not sure what their usual behaviour is. Are these guys playing or is this breeding behavior? Never guessed these guys would be so exciting to watch, whizzing around like maniacs!

Ps. Sorry for crap image quality but taken on camera phone, am working on getting a real camera.

Ok wont upload, will repost video later sorry

Looks like the males were trying to breed some unreceptive females. If you want to get some fry out of them, seperate the males and females, feed the females well on foods with high protein and ample fat content. When the females look plump (side to side, not top to bottom) which usually takes 1 - 2 weeks put the males back in with the females at night, do a 45 - 55 % water change with cool water and turn out the lights. The next evening remove all of the adults to a seperate tank and keep the tank dark. Within a few days you will see fry darting around and within a week free swimmers.
 
Ah great info Alistriwen! I would love to get fry from these fish..Can you give me any tips to tell male from females?
