R.B.P. suprise spawning

Ahhh.....I would say that you might as well wait untill next year before you try to spawn. It took 1&1/2 yrs before my fish were comfortable enough to eat in front of me, and i bought them when they were the size of quarters. I read that they need a long time to establish dominance and reach a stable state of hirachy. (think i mispelled that) Eventually the most dominant male and female will pair up and run all other fish off secluding themselves for the spawning. I was lucky that i have only 2 fish and they are opposite sex, even more lucky that they spawned. Still have no luck in getting more eggs.
Mine still are not doing anything,although soetimes they do get darker,but nothin happensIf they do spawn again my biggest concern is going to be feeding them properly. I understand that you feed freshly hached brine shrimp. That could be like a whole another hobbie. I don't know how I'm going to feed them 3 times a day! If i do manage to get a bunch to survive to quarter size i will be looking for good homes for them. I'm going to post at the breeding forum and see if anyone knows about alternate foods for RBP fry.
