Any one managed to breed them? Mind sharing the tips and how easy or tough is it?

I had some bred for me before....I didn't really do anything as they were in a 6 ft with my big fronts (max 8") so wasn't expecting anything. But a pair did manage to breed and raise their fries. I removed the fries subsequently. They dug a cave and did it from there. I think once you get a pair going, the rest is easy.

Agree with Vince. Once they pair up, the rest is easy. The need caves to breed and male will guard and chase any fishes that gets too close to their territory.
