Gordon, neven...

At the moment I have a number of A splendopleure, a shy but elegant killie that is often 'out on view' in a quiet, planted setting. They will breed for you, without any extra work - no need to remove babies, and no heater required. I'd be happy to give you some to try out, along with starter cultures of daphnia\copepods and microworms. You can take them now, or wait until they can be sexed. (my collection are only 4 or 5 generations from wild caught, and have never been mixed with other regional variations, so still very authentic)

Alternatively, you can wait for the elberti to spawn. They're more showy and 'in your face' -not remotely shy. Only one adult pair plus juvies in a tank, though, if you want to breed. The dominat female will eat the other's eggs, and the dominate male will slowly wear down the subordinates. These guys should be spawning any time now (finger crossed). Same general care as the splendopleure.
