Species: Jewel Cichlids
How many: 4- 3in 3 males 1 female
How long trying: A few months of letting them grow in my 100 gallon community tank waiting for a pair off. As of yesterday we have a pair!
Any successful spawns already: None from this batch yet but about a year ago have had success with a jewel pair that died from unknown problems.
Set up: 100 gallon community tank with 3- Blood parrots 1- Midas 2- green terrors 4- Jewels 3- cory catfish 2- green hero severums
30 gallon waiting for cycling to be complete to move Severums into
20 gallon waiting for cycling for new pair of jewels
Any triggers/other information : I know my 100 gallon is overcrowded but that doesn't seem to bother any of the fish. I do alot of water changes to provide good clean water. This is not my 1st attempt to breed fish and my 5 year plan is to setup a fishroom to expand my hobby.

How many: Poecilia reticulata - Fancy guppies (assortment)
How long trying: 3 weeks
Any successful spawns already: 3

Any triggers/other information : Male and female guppies are left in tank, various color varieties of males, and females are 2 bright yellow tails - with yellow stripe from dorsal fin to tail on the top of tail, 2 red tails (red/blonde), 2 sunset yellow tails.
Moms are left in the tank - and not placed in breeder. Plenty of hiding places for new babies. They are left in the tank with moms and dads. They do not eat them - but sometimes a few will chase them at feeding time.
Babies are left in tank with parents until they are larger. They are placed in another tank to grow. The males and females will be separated into separate tanks when they can be identified.
