My web research found only live food would be accepted. They actually eat anything now and seem to like flakes that float the best. No surprise from what you noted Paul. They have now been dispersed into 3 different tanks.
Main question is about the best way to try breeding. Find a pair? Group grope sort of thing like Corys? I noticed several posters have spawned similar fish but haven't seen any "how to's". Not looking hard enough?
Last question: there are four of these guys in a 30 gallon. They have it all to themselves. I thought one of them was dead. It was totally still and sort of hanging in the roots of Water Sprite (which after reading more posts I have removed since top feeders may not like floating plants). It was not dead and when disturbed, joined the others in swimming around the tank. After awhile this fish finds another place and sits there looking dead. This is the only one that does this but does it consistently. Is this normal? I know there are fish (notorious among Tropheus) that love to play dead. I know of people throwing fish in the garbage only to have them flipping around when checking it later.
