>From memory and reading up on the subject, the trick seems to be that the
fry need a brackish environment.  Too harsh for the normal planted tank, but
since you have yours in a different tank, you might give it a try???  Can't

My CJs were always gravid and I believe that a couple of fry must have made
it to adult hood in my 70 gal because there were more in there when I tore
it down.  I started with 12 and had 14, 18 months later.
