When you say 'breed', what do you mean exactly? Where to put a holding female or where to place a breeding group?

Sorry I was not clear. I meant to say where to hold the pregnant female.

A good eye is very important in a tank that size, especially when you have a holding female. Hiding spots are very important, and good ones at that. If constant attempts are made at the female then I would consider a seperate tank for her to hold in. Nothing fancy, just a "time out" 10g for her to do her thing in. If you're serious about breeding then look nto another tank to hold the fry until they're ready to join the community. You'll love the experience and "labs" are always sought after in the hobby. "Enjoy".

That's some good advice Jeff, and I definitely agree with that.
