Cac´s in my tank

[Cludy]

I need breeding info. I have a wery big Cac male (who has an enormous back fin!) and smaller bright yellow female. My intentions are to breed them. in my 100l tank I have 25 small tetras(?) I don`t know what are they in english. Four corydoras and four worm fish(?)
I woul like to know how can I breed my Cac`s without disturbing my other fish?
What would make them get interested about swarming? Raising the heat?(whitch is now about 24C And PH is about 6,5) I have lots of plants and my cac`s have a clay pot of their own. I feed them with shrimp tablets, Frozen worms, flakes and tubifex etc. Is everything allright? Should i buy a breeding tank? I thought about an 85l tank whitch would be full of plants an ofcourse their clay pot.
Thank you.:biggrin:

I think that you will do better if you put your A. cacatuoides in a separate breeding tank. Your tetras & Corydoras will eat the eggs & fry. I do not know what the worm fish (Coolie Loaches, I believe) will do. A 50l aquarium is about right for breeding. Make sure the tank has many hiding places & the temperature is around 26º. Frequent partial water changes & good food will produce adults who will breed for you.

Thanks! I`ll do my best!
