its better if your spawing sites aren't shiney or an unnatural (or amazingly light) colour like white too, they want the dark places. Good luck with it, there is at least one other person on the site i know is trying it currently. How big are the parent to be stock?

I have eight adult L204 and not once in the past year has one every used a cave. They always stick to the Malaysian bogwood. There is a large potted Amazon Sword plant in their tank which they keep algae free.
They are fed primarily earthworm sticks and occassional frozen bloodworms and live blackworms. They prefer these foods to algae wafers or boiled zucchini.
Males are larger and much more spiney(odontodes) and have thicker spinier pectoral and dorsal fin spines than the more gracile females. It is better to just keep up good maintenance because they will spawn only if and when they decide to. Doesn't hurt to try the "tricks" but unless they are ready nothing will happen anyway. Plan on years and be pleasantly surprised if it takes less time.
