I was just wondering if anyone has sucessfully bred Rosy Red's for their RES? I have a seperate tank for the ones that I buy, but they have never mated. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

I remember reading another post recently where others mentioned having no success at breeding rosy reds. I breed my guppies, and we all know that there is no problem in that department. It's part of the reason that I chose to go with the guppies.

I believe minnows lay eggs which makes more difficult to put them in the right conditions in a tank. Guppies bear live young so it's much easier to let them breed.
