Aye, but yet here you are, asking the question you should have asked long before getting these fish.
Would you have bought a bunch of L46 if you didn't already know exactly how to breed them and thusly protect not only them, but your investment as well?

Maybe I'm assuming too much. Maybe your extremely open-ended question of simply "any ideas?" led me to think that you had already made a huge mistake and had no idea of into just what you had gotten yourself.

Maybe if you had rephrased your question to be a bit more specific, asking us which facets of Redline breeding we had any ideas about, I may have not simply assumed you were just another dummy doing more harm than good. My bad.

Oh well; spilled milk.

So then, ARE you an accomplished large barb breeder with a very large, well conditioned tank and easy access to top choice foods? If so, then that's wonderful; you're halfway home. Read the articles, do the research, and crank out some fish.
