Does any body know how to breed these guys. I have had them for a while now and all they tend to do is eat, cut down all my plants, climb on this try to get to the top then jump down, hide in the PVC piping I provided for them etc. but they wont have any babies is there a trick or something to get them going?
 
depending on how many you have there might not be enough hiding places, making them feel vulnerable to carry a berry. once they do berry up they tend to hide so keep that in mind. also, try overfeeding a bit, with an excess of food available it may lead them to think there spawn will have a better success rate instead of having to compete with not only themselves but the mother for food... sounds feasible to me
 
The only thing I have in there is: one bushy nose pleco, 9 least killi fishes, 7 ghost shrimps and 10 amano shrimps. I started feeding them a lot to help with the Berry process but now I a trumpet snail invasion lol .
