another method people use is to feed the fish up, then put them through a 'dormance' period for a week or two (temp 2-5 degrees, very little feeding), then the warming water, and introduction of males and females triggers them to spawn, I'll post the link when i find it

Ya you start them off at a temp lower than 10c the bring it up to 15 and feed the up for a few days then you can add a mop
I just use  some green wool cut it in to 30cm lenghts about 2 dozen and tie them in the middel and hang it in the water
And if ya lucky they will sporn in it and all ya do then is put it in a well aired tank wand wait till hey hatch
Well good luck
