Very nice you don't leave them much time to just hang around being lazy.:wink:
Give me some hints on your preparation for getting them to breed, such as pH, feeding, where the couple separated for a while, etc..

Wow blueblue. congrats!
Thanks Eugene.
P.S: The pair of super-red german diplo (that you probably have seen in the store in Hong Kong) also spawned and i have found something like 40 fries in the cave, heheee... i am so glad with my recent purchases of german fish
Wow!!!!That great!!!!Congrat BlueBlue!!!! I will like to create a booking list for all your fries!!! Hee..Hee.:tongue:

Hmm, just classic setting: ADA aquasoil substrate, pH ~5-6, feeding with BBS and ADA aqua-food, and 1/4 of water exchange every week. I am a bit lazy now and just exchange with tap water... The couple live together in my tank without any separation. They seem to be in love, hehee...
Guttata seems to be very robust and both male and female are co-living in the tank with fries now. The tank is not big but is a standard size for my breeding pairs: 18 inches long, 8.5 inches wide and 12 inches tall.
Thanks for your reply blueblue!
I guessed that i would be a "classic setup". I was however hoping for some very special foolproof tricks.
Looks like I have to keep encourage my pair to do it for themselves.
