Default Re: Your experience

Back when I was breeding them, I was lucky enough to have a pair that bred pretty much year round. A good water changes and the tank was full of eggs shortly thereafter. I experienced 100% viability although I willingly allowed the larvae to cannibalize each other. In those days I did not worry about quantity. In short, they will breed when they are ready to and are very prolific. Temperature is the key here. Keep them too warm and they will never breed.
