That is really cool. You should post pics of the setup including tank gallons, dimensions, all water params, aquascaping, include pics, how big is your shoal, how did they pair up...

There would be a lot of people interested. I would be if they weren't illegal here.
 
200 gal long 7ft x 2ft x 2ft small aquarium gravel as a substrate (had play sand but didnt like the clean up)
3 filters (2-90gal, 1-50gal) one powerhead. ph 7, water is alittle hard but trying to bring it down with a softner, nitrate is good, ammonia is good.
15 adults not sure but i have atleast 6 males building nests, and atleast 2 females i saw spawning. i was in afghanistan for a year and my wife didnt take care of my fish like i wanted her too..... so i came home and the water was low and dirty, i changed the substrate from sand to gravel, did some water changes, and put it back to the normal levels. so i think she accidentally put them through a dry season. works for me!!!

here are the two clutches.jpg

Wow! Will make a load of money off those
if only that was true... it is REALLY hard to make money off of breeding natts. you would have to put a bunch of money into a proper set up for fry from multiple breeding pairs and have places to actually sell them in order to make money.

it is fun to do and you can get some store credit or put a little cash in your pocket, but its definitely not something people should rush into because they think they are gonna get rich.
