Maybe it's just luck for me breeding them. I'll describe what I've done:
November 26: I received 2 males from Andy (cb 2008, 11,5 and 12,5 cm long). They were put in a plastic vivarium with some peat, which was almost dry. Only a little bowl with 2-3 cm. of water was put in it. Temperature around 15°C.
April 28: I received a female from Andy (cb 2007). She was put in the same kind of set up, seperate from the males (quarantine process).
May 21: The males needed a tank refreshing actually, and I thought they could live together after a few weeks. They looked all very healthy though. As soon the males noticed the female, they became wild, and I saw an amplexus between the two males on land. Set up wasn't changed, so I wanted asap an other set up with a bigger water area. They moved to a 60 cm. aquarium with a layer of gravel. The whole background was covered with stones, which came out of the water. Javamoss and other species of moss were put on top of it. Water depth is 13 cm.
The males became aquatic immediatly, the female was more hanging under the water surface. One male is constantly following the female. Temp. around 20-21°C.
June 5: The first eggs.
June 10: All eggs collected (around 40) and placed in another tank, on a stone, covered with javamoss, just sticking out of the water. Temp. around 23-24°C.
June 12: Second breeding behaviour.
June 13: First hatchling.
June 21: A few larvau died. Don't know why, and how much I've left. The others are doing very well. The strongest will survive I think.
June 24: Again breeding behaviour.
July 6: Eggs again.
So, now it's up to date. Also you can visit the Dutch topic, where it's all described including pics.
