I went and picked up a group of 7 of these guys from Blue @ ExoticFinds a couple months ago. Today a male was guarding some eggs in his cave. I don't expect success for their first time (although anything's possible), but have no doubts it'll happen again.
Not surprisingly, a couple cool water changes were all it took to trigger 'em.

Went as I'd expected: nothing doing. My experience with fish is: if they'll spawn once they'll keep at it. I can wait.

Your a man of very few words pete...
what happened?

Who can say what the issue was.. One day there were eggs, another day there weren't. Maybe they weren't fertilized this go round, maybe the male got spooked and had caviar.

There was another female trapped in a cave last night.
I'm not going to harass 'em so it'll be a while before another update

I have what i though were a pair - but they are completely ignoring each other

Eventually I want to breed L134's I found 5 juvenile's in one
of my local fish shops yesterday but I haven't got a spear
tank to put them in.
Would you put the little guys in community? I don't think they
would get the food they need

They'll be fine in a community tank.
Just feed plenty of sinking food, like JMC catfish pellets etc and they'll be fine.
