Wherever you choose to set your spawning tank up, bear in mind that after spawning a light needs to be left on at night to assist the male in looking after the fry.  The tank should be filled with no more than six inches of water, heated to 28-30c.  The sponge filter, powered by an air pump, needs to be running and regulated by an air line clamp to reduce the movement on the surface of the water.  Silk plants and/or live plants can be used.  Silk plants give the female an area of retreat for resting.  Live plants, such as floating frogbit, are good for the male to build his bubblenest under as well as providing the fry with a secure surface to hang on to.  Indian Almond Leaf can be used as another bubblenest area, whilst adding a tonic to the water.  There are no hard and fast rules regarding where a male will make his nest.  Some will happily use a piece of polystyrene, some bubblewrap and some prefer plants.  We normally start off with polystyrene and see how it goes.
