banjo catfish

Hi,
due to a coincidence I got 16 banjo catfish like these :
http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/1997-06.htm
They were in bad shape and 2 didn't survive. So I still got 14 of the (3 big ones, 11 smaller)
Now that I have them, I give it a try to get them to spawn.
I made a tank ready for them measuring 100*50*50 (in cm). Sand as a substrate. As many hiding places as possible. No other fish until now (to make sure they get their share of food). temp = 26°C.
waterparameters : KH=6, GH=12, pH=7.6 (bump
)
planning to feed them frozen bloodworms, sinking cichlid and pleco pellets, chopped earthworms, succhini (?).
Would this a enough ?? any remarks / experiences ??
