i did a 20% water change on friday afternoon. these are temperate fish so they don't have a heater in the tank as they don't need one. like i say they have plenty of plants in the tank. here are some more updated photo's of them,hope this helps.  The female in the picture below is in the middle

no they can't get between the glass and trap. one of the females just sits near it, but the other female gets followed all the time by the male. im just going to let nature take its cause and hopefully i can catch the fry in time.
