im lookin to breed my odessas, but cant find too much "how to" stuff. from what i gather, they are "Very easy to breed. They are egg scatters. You can set up a small tank, line the bottom with marbles (so the eggs can fall through and parent can't get to them) and a few plants. Add a couple of plump females and a male. The next day you will have eggs. They are very tiny and hard to see. Remove the parents. In a day or so the eggs will hatch, depends on the temp. of your water. First feedings I use vinegar eels and micro-worms. They will also spawn in their home tank whenever they feel like it. But these eggs are most likely lost or eaten."

can anyone else add some suggestions? thanks!
