Tony,

I have had success with E.duboisi using water under 50 ppm, temperature
20-22C, with java moss and java fern in the tank. Filtration was a small
sponge filter. The tank was a 5 gal. half-filled. I used a small floating
mop. Fry were fed infusoria. Some fry did pop up in the parents tank. But,
overall I had better success when I picked the eggs. They are a nice fish,
but very shy.

I have no trouble maintaining the fish and getting fry, my question focused on long term aquarium maintenance. I begin to have difficulty after F2 and have seldom been able to keep the fish beyond F3, only once did I make it to F4 ..... eggs hatching seemed to be far less successful, although the eggs appeared fertile.
