frozen is a good conditioning food. I try not to feed live too much anymore as it's very easy to introduce bad juju into your tank that way. I haven't heard anything that would lead me to believe that "live" stimulates spawning. I know a good regimine for a couple weeks before spawning (when you notice the female starting to get heavy) increases egg size fertility and fry health. And that a change like say a 50% water change or leave the lights on longer one day can stimulate fish that are being "stubborn" to spawn
