CPD's are scatter spawners who just randomly drop their eggs in plants, with a few eggs being layed daily. They do not have a spawning embrace like anabantoids do, so I'd assume that males simply try to stay near females and drop their milt while doing so.

i dont have a problem harvesting the eggs as this is how my tank is set up for them to breed...
and i have breed these for years now but what i wanted to know was how the females layed her eggs or does the male come and squeeze her as some of the eggs are not fertilize and i dont stick around 24/7 looking at them mate and lay eggs... i just check every night and see if there is any eggs below the mesh

this mesh goes from one corner to the other so there is no way the CPD's can enter the bottom tank... unless they are that small where they can fit through the mesh holes if they where cut into small chunks lol
some might ask why not just use live moss... the answer to that is simple... when you use live moss it tends to get rip to smaller pieces and fall down into the bottom of the tank and make it even a bigger mess OR it grows and in tangle with the mess and when u pull up the moss it rips and back to the mess again... + you always need to clean with moss -.-
so why yarn? easy to move around, no cleaning needed, wont grow or need to be trim, need me to say more? oh and the big key is it dont need light... =)
