- Well first what you have to is get a tank about 2 gallons or more make surwe you have a filter and a heater setup for about a day or so.
Then go find yourself a male. My standards are they must be lively (active) the cant be too younge or too old they must already be blowing a bubblenest and they have to be one that i like.
Before putting the male into the tank lattle some of the water into his container so that he can get used to it. Let him sit in it for about 5-10 minutes then net him out of his container (do not poor the water that he was originally in into the tank because that water has been contaminated)
make sure you have placed a few plants in there for the female to hide in when you breed them.
Cut a styrofoam cup in half and let him blow his nest under it.
After he has built a big nest then get two females.
Now you can go one of two ways you can either condition (get them ready to breed) or you can do what i did which was to just placee the females in the tank with the male immediately. Find the female that is less agressive with the male and pull the agressive one out.
Leave her in there for three days the take her out if the donot breed.
I did the above and i bred an albino female and a black blue and red male in three days and i have only had my females for three days.

- Really i thought that u would have to condition them for 2 weeks,
or is it ok to put her in the jar and the male in the tank and condition them at the same time and let them out 1 week or so?
