Both fish are now doing amazingly! Both eating well, very outgoing and happy, so I think I’ll try a spawn this weekend on the full moon. Any tips on starting my infusoria culture?

Thank you! I had a similar experience with lamp eye tetras, just curious I suppose... I took a group of females and placed them in a ten gallon bare bottom tank. I used a hang on filter and replaced the charcoal with peat to release tannins and adjust water parameters... I fed tons of live black worms and they grew huge... Then I scooped them out and placed a mesh net that floated just above the bottom of the tank with holes large enough to let the eggs fall through... Then added the females and now also males back in to the tank... Next day, I had sooo many eggs, it was a lot of work feeding the tiny fry, as they grew I moved them to the 65 gallon tank and it turned out to be a very nice large school... That was years ago, wish I had taken pictures like you did back then...
