I've just aquired a pair of black and white false percula's.  Any pointers on successfully breeding them and raising the young would be greatly appreciated.

They are in their own tank, 15 gallon with lots of live rock, hang on tank carbon filter and a prism style skimmer.  I'm not sure how old they are because I just got them from a friend who's father in law passed away, and they were his fish.  He was the one who knew how old they were.  They are paired up, female is over 3-1/2" male is around 2-1/2".  I have a pair of false percula's that I've had for 3 years, these are much larger than my false percs.  I'll see if I can get a picture on here soon.  Thanks for taking the time to help.
