Parent group of 6 was kept in a 5 gallon tank with the bottom covered in fine leaf plants and moss. Water temp was around 76 degrees. Water level was allowed to drop substantially. Parents were kept well fed. Rainwater was used to fill the tank. Young fish were observed about a week later. More of an accidental spawning though!
