I've got 2 gold females and a pair of blues too. I don't know how to get them to start spawning.

Would you not be better having a male gold ? To breed them you will have to provide them with soft water, as well as increasing the water temp to between 84-88°F (29-31°C). Mind you i must say they are not easy to breed and the fry are very hard to raise to adulthood. Good luck in trying and keep us informed on how you go.

I didn't realise the temp had to be so high. I have a L191 and 3 sterbai corys with them. Will they be ok with that high temp? If not I can put them into the 20 gallon and crank the temp up.

Personaly i would put them in the 20 gal and soften the water and crank up the temp to see if that would trigger them into spawning
