When they are ready to spawn add them to the tank, spawning normally takes place at daybreak, the eggs will be deposited around the tank. Once spawning is complete, remove the parents and the fry should hatch out in 24-36 hours. A few days later the fry will be free swimming and can be fed on Infusoria.
