Most fish species are stimulated to breed in the springtime when the water warms up and the daylight lengthens. You can replicate this anytime in your home aquarium by doing water changes, increasing the temperature setting on the aquarium thermometer, and gradually increasing the length of time the lights are on.
By creating an environment as near to the natural environment that the pair of fish you have chosen comes from and providing both the male and the female abundant food high in protein, you will condition the fish to reproduce. Different species of fish lay their eggs in different manners, so there are several aquarium setups, plant types, breeding surfaces and foods that are best to stimulate spawning for various fish species.
