Well, I have a few spare tanks, should I catch them and move them now or would that upset them to not spawn? I would really like to see them spawn, and I dont want to ruin the chance.are they cleaning a spot in the tank?
sounds ike they maybe pretty close to a spawn. when the female drops the ovipositor they are closer yet.
if you want them to spawn.they will need to be in a quiet spot..they tend to eat the eggs or wigglers when they get upset.
it's best to move a breeding pair to a breeding tank.
Yeah my theory was to let them do it completely at least once so they kind of "bond" and then move them. The water change is what I kind of did because I accidentally pumped 1 months worth of ferts in one day(stupid timers). So Ive been laboriously cleaning.If they haven't spawned before, it's my understanding that it's best to let them practice... Mine have eaten the eggs twice - next time I'm gonna keep them in a separate tank or maybe pull the cone with the eggs once the male gives it a going over... not sure if that's the best thing tho...
Oh - i noticed that on days i do a double water change it has triggered spawning
