And have you tried a forum search? I'm pretty certain that this has been discussed several times before.

I searched for "Syno multipunctatus breeding" and found 36 hits. Some of them are certainly not relevant, but I believe you can find something of use here.

So , to be clear, you want to ensure the maximum number of young produced?
