Ready to Spawn?

My Glowlight Tetras and my Cherry Barbs (I think) are pregnant...or egg-laden. How do I get them to spawn? I know they will not survive but I keep thinking she's gonna explode 'cause she's so fat...

If they do survive, it will be cool, but probably not because my Dwarf Gourami likes to eat everything.

I'm not sure about the soft music ( lol )
but glow lights like to spawn in low light or darkness.
Try covering the tank ( 4 x sides and top ) for a 2 to 3 days and see what happens .

Make sure you are feeding her high quality food, like blood worms frozen (live if you can get them), brine shrimp, micro worms, vinager eels, but blood worms are the best for prego fish!

Don't underestimate your fish! I found 2 decent size swordtail fry in my tank today that have been living with my dwarf gourami who also likes to eat everything. Get some floating plants...the fry are smart enough to hide in them until you can scoop them out into a hatchery or another tank, whichever you have set up.
