    Have them check your water while your at it...assuming they were properly acclimated and they looked healthy in the tank.

    If it's orangish yes, they're supposed to be that color. If it's red it could be ammonia poisoning.

    How many are in the tank ? Spawning is probably not likely.

    You should have 8 or more of those guys idealy then you have a slight chance of breeding
