good water quality and condition them with frozen,blood worm ,dafnia,black fly lava .or live foods.
flake .pelets ,tubafix.just good quality food mor than usuall for 1-2 weeks to get them in breeding condition, after that time cool water changes more often to get them spawning

males are smaller than the females ,and females allot plumper and wider wich you can see from a top view
