Getting my BN to breed

[dragonsmatt]

Hi all,
I have got a few BN which I am trying to breed, I currently have about 10 ABN bout 4 male 6 fm and I have 4cbn 2m 2fm, one of my cbn males is quite a big guy and he always fans in his cave I have for him. I wanted to breed abn but I had 4 of them in a 2ft tank for about 6mnths with no results. I currently have my bigger more active cbn male in the 2 ft tank with 3 abn females. Will they breed being different colours? Also I have noticed that 2 of my females have started to get s large belly but I dont know how to tell if there is eggs in there. I am hoping to getrid of my tropicals in my 4ft and use that as a colony breeding setup but untill then does anyone have any hits or tips that I should know about?
