Treated our 40 gal breeder with Malachite Green for a fungal infection. Treatment was successful . . . and curiously, the Electric Blue Acaras decided to spawn
Long story short, I pulled the eggs . . . they spawned again very shortly thereafter . . . I pulled the second spawn as well . . . and now, looking down a few weeks at submitting a double-barrel-batch for BAP
I've set up a dedicated 55 gal. grow out tank for them to go into. It will still require a lot of water changes, but it's got sufficient filtration range to cover the bio load (two large sponge filters + two well-established Aqueon 75 HOBs with pothos growing in.

Wow! That's an unusual technique for triggering spawning.
