In a nutshell; They are currently too small to breed at the moment. About another half inch or so and they may be ready. Looking from above the females belly (midriff) is wider than the males. Put them in a bare tank (approx 8-10 gallon) with small heaterstat and a basic sponge filter. You can add broadleaf plastic plants if you like. Condition the fish with plenty of livefood (bllodworm etc) and good quality pellet food. Do regular cool water changes, lowering the temperature gradually to about 18 celcius. These factors should induce them to spawn. The eggs will be stuck to the aquarium glass or plants. Remove the adults after breeding and treat the tank with a small amount of Methylene blue (will help to stop eggs fungusing). The eggs should hatch in 3-4 days and once the yolk sack is absorbed can be fed finely crushed (powdered) flake and tiny livefoods such as Brineshrimp Nuplii.
