[Killietalk] Conditioning breeders

[Diane Brown <debunix at well_com>]

I put a pair of j. floridae by themselves in a small gravel-bottomed 
tank and would like them to spawn for me.   They don't seem very 
comfortable in the tank after having hung out there for a week (they 
were in a heavily planted near-jungle tank before this) and don't look 
like they're got the slighted interest in spawning.  I'm wondering if 
they need more cover to be comfortable enough to go at it (since the 
tank is unlit, and gets only light from a not-to-close window, even 
java fern won't survive in it).

The fish look plump and in good color, so I think they're in good 
enough condition, but maybe that's not enough?
