2) add rocks or flowerpot ?
3) plexiglass or egg crate+screen divider ?
4) how long is the gestation period ?
5) will she or he eat the eggs?
6) they lay eggs right ?
7) not live bearers correct ?
8) any special temps i have to keep the tank ? (76-82 now)

anyone else ?

Ive never seen a female before laying her eggs so its possible
as far as your questions
1. you would seperate the male and female they both help raise and protect the young
2.ive seen alot of people use flat rocks to lay the eggs on.
3. IMO. i would seperate into a whole tank alone. the parents especially the females exhibit alot of aggression toward any tank mates that she feals threatened by
4.not sure
5.they usually are very good parents and would not eat them
6. yes
7. no
8. that should be ok. but def to raise 86 once you get wrigglers. to avoid disease

thanks sooo much boogiemn1 definately helped me out ..... about seperating the pair , don't really want to stress them out so thinking like 1/3 of the 220 for them !?!?!

seems like moving the prego female + male would be too much stress for them. Divide or move current tankmates?

My Pair spawn every 18 days,u can set your clock to them! My Monoculus look idenical,but have red on there stomachs. They produce 500 to 1000 every time @ 18 months old. Behaviour is everything whats going on?

They just finished a spawn and I would part with them if someone else was willing and able? The spawns are going to get bigger there only 14" long. Most wholesalers wholesaler used to be in the far east and were hybrid Ocellaris and low quality Temensis. I have other pairs of differnt species and can keep busy.
