well here’s what you have to do…

as you have just one male you must try to use it so: put that male and the female with the plump tummy in the reproduction aquarium (any other fish from there must be taken out). make sure the water has at least 25 cm height. now here’s a verry important thing: cover the glass of the awuarium so that the fish can’t see you, they get scared verry fast during the reproduction… also try to avoid the aquarium area as much as possible…

the male should start building the nest in few hours (if it is old enough) - what length does it have?

also put some floating plants in order to help the bubble nest building… and some plants in the corners of the aquarium in order to assure hiding places for the female (the male will beat her…)

that’s all for the beginning… if you have any other questions feel free to ask, i’ll try to help as much as i can :)

you’ll see that after the first sucessful reproduction everything will seem so simple… :)

good luck!

i’ll wait for news
