Breeding Red Tailed Apistos?

Hello :)
I have a ten gallon and plan on getting a 20 gallon tank, too. These will be breeding and grow-out tanks for Red tailed Dwarf Cichlids.
I plan on adding plants (obviously) and sand. Plus I have some coconuts and some flower pots (as well as rocks, rocks, rocks!).
I have lots of good conditioning foods (brine shrimp, blood worms, fruit fly larvae, breeder's blend flake) and fry foods (powder, micro worms, rotifers).
What tips, tricks, and info can you give me on breeding them from personal experience?

Thanks in Advance,
Stillme

... that a 10 is a bit small as a breeding tank for most apisto species unless you have good experience with breeding these fish and understanding apisto behavior - and what to do when. I'm not saying it's impossible, just go in with your eyes wide open. Welcome to the forum, BTW. Try looking through the 'search' option. There's a wealth of good information there.
