Anybody Breed Harlequin Rasboras?

[spunjin]

I just bought 6 Harl. Rasboras today (3 of them are noticably full of eggs and at least 2 are male, not sure of the other one yet). I wanted to see if I could successfully breed them in my 26gal planted tank. I'm sure I will have to move the breeding pair to a different tank though.
Let me know how I can do this.

ok first place a well conditioned adult male with a plump female in the aquarium late in the evening.They should start dancing and swimming around the tank together and eventually move underneath a leaf or a floating plants or a spawning mop. There should be about 40 eggs per spawning. In other hand your going to need a seprate tank for them or other fish can eat the eggs,prepare to have infusoria or liquid fry food.

Thanks for the info. What size tank would you suggest for a breeding tank? Would you suggest a sponge filter as well?

maybe a 5g-10g. I don't think you need a filter.
