I think he means S.Eupterus.  My Understanding is that you need a little jab (Hormones) to get them to
eed in captivity..<

Dean I am about 2 to 4 weeks away from giving mine a hormone jab, will let you know if they go off.<
>I have herd of people
eeding them naturally ??, I should think you would need soft black water of about 30, with lots of good food and water changes and a tank to THEM SELVES.<
