glad it helped, my pair is in my 75 gal that most people would say is over stocked (don't mind the sig. it isn't updated in a while) however I never get a reading of nitrates phosphates ect so I leave it at that lol but is a peaceful community.
the tile I pull out the night they are gonna hatch which is usually on day 8 and place them in a 10 gal tank with about 4 gal. of water from the parents tank, they don't need the parents to hatch just movement over the eggs. IME that is the tricky part when first doing it, you want enough air bubbles over the eggs to keep them in motion but not to much to damage them. try to leave them with the parents as long as possiable though as the dad will keep the eggs in good health and pick off the ones that die so they don't infect the others.
some people say not to feed for the 1st 24 hours however I put some rotifers in the tank the next morning when I strain out my culture and tint the water slighty green, it has worked out good for me so far. my last hatch that happened on friday night produced alot of fry, and not alot of die off.
I have always ran my lights on, 15 on and 9 off schedual and it didn't seem to harm anything some say to leave the lights off for the 1st 24 hours though.
