The Male is a later addition to the group, I picked it up at one of my LFS's about 6 months ago? The females are my group I got about 2 years ago now...The females don't look like they have any eggs, and I didn't see any eggs drop as they were in the process of mating. But this is a great sign of the health of my aqua system!

Yes. The black around the fin means he's looking for a mate

Mine do that all the time but I've never had any eggs. I have 4 males and 4 females.

I have heard of them breeding in captivity though but unsure of conditions

My friend breeds them. One thing i have heard is that females dont have alot of eggs. Thats all i know. Oh and he breeds them in huge blue pools outside. Dont know if the space, well water and age on these things help, but im guessing it does.

I recall reading that they require quite a bit of space. I think they do what is called a spawning run.
