John,

I do not know if they are self-fertile, but if you use a small artists 
paint brush and brush the flowers that should better ensure 
pollination.  Can you provide any information on how long you have been 
growing your A. mad, aquarium conditions, and anything else that may 
help others successfully grow this species?
