Thanks everyone.   I have had the same group of 7 brichardis for a while.  
Unfortunately when I moved 2 weeks ago I lost a female.  She somehow jumped 
out while I was putting everyone in the bucket and I did not notice her in 
time.  Now I have 4 males and 2 females.  I think having more females might 
be better?  They have bred a few times, but the babies all disappeared after 
a few days.  I'll look into getting some julies or something similar as 
well.  Thanks everyone.  :)
