Anyone got any advice on how to breed these gems, I've just acquired a pair after doing extensive research on them but just want to know what you guys think are needed to breed them. Below is a photo of them in my holding cage.
Thanks,
Aidan
Any Advice?

Yes, no more difficult than typical Mannikins.
That is assuming that they are a true pair.
Being a monomorphic species, you can never be sure until you get a fertile egg or have them DNAed.
They like to retire to a nest box/basket for the night. As soon as the sun dips in winter they will disappear.

From what I've seen in your setup and feeding routine Aidan, I think you are pretty well set up well to breed Silverbills. They arent very picky thats for sure

Dunno how your budget is travelling . . and probably more of general interest than a husbandry guide . .
