I'm looking for someone else who has successfully bred L-201's...   I have a few questions...

I don't get on here too often, but I'll try to pay attention for this. What questions do you have?

Great!!  Thanks!!  I cant find too much online about them (other than their controversial ID determination!) so I'm wondering about methods of breeding these.   I purchased two unsexed juvies this past spring.  I'd like to buy more, but they have not been available. 
-I have them in a 20g long with sand, slate caves, upside down flower pots and pvc tubes, & a few artificial plants.   
-There are 6 cardinal tetras and two pairs of Peacock Gudgeons in their tank. 
-I have an AC HOB & one sponge filter so the water isnt turbulent (maybe it needs to be?)  One +always hides in a flower pot (maybe this indicates male) , the other always under an open slate arch.  I cant visually tell M vs. F.   They both look the same to me. 
-I feed algae flakes & wafers with occasional frozen bloodworms. 
-pH 7.8(or higher),  temp 78-81, >30% w/c every 2wks.   

Are you hearing any red flags that I need to correct?

I wouldn't keep them with the gudgeons. Competition for caves with interrupt spawning.
