killifish wont breed, need plant id, and need help aquascaping.

You can try a breeding mop and take it out every two days or so to check if there are eggs on it. Java moss is kind of hard to spot eggs in if you don't take it out and inspect it carefully. Are you just feeding only frozen bloodworms? You can try giving them dried fish food, if they take it. Switch off on feeding dried and frozen, as digitalphrage mentioned. When I was breeding non-annuals, too much protein/meaty foods stopped breeding for some killies. I would drop in a wafer or two since I had corys with them. I think your MTS may be eating some of the eggs. I had ramshorns with killies and they ate the eggs. It is best if you take out the eggs if you really want to have fry.
MTS: malaysian trumpet snails, I think.
 
MTS, I'm not familiar with that acronym, but if it's a shrimp or snail species, I suppose it is possible they are consuming the eggs...that's what they do. You may want to try moving the adults to a small temporary breeding enclosure to lay eggs if you have the means.

I'd also suggest bumping up the amount of java moss in the tank. If you send me a private message I might be able to help you with that...would only charge you shipping & packaging costs and it shouldn't be more than $10. I could throw in some hornwort as well. Plus, there'd be duckweed, which some people consider a pest species, but it's a great plant for breeding tanks as it gives fry lots of additional hiding spots as well as the micro-organisms that they feed on.

Also, I'm not sure how knowledgeable you are so please don't take offense, but are you certain you have a male and female pair? Females are uniformly grey with some speckling of red/chocolate spots where as males are very colorful with red, blue and yellow coloration.

Either way, I say give it some time. I've had two different gardneri varieties and generally they are all very productive species in terms of making babies. If you don't see fry within a month or two, there's definitely something that needs to be addressed, but I'm not sure what that would be.

Your pH sounds fine and the temp thing isn't all that important...just keep in mind that warmer temps will help increase breeding.

As far as the pic goes, it's a tad blurry, and since the plant is so small, that makes it all the more difficult to positively identify. Probably not a lot you can do about that unless you have a higher end camera with macro. But, for what it's worth, throw my vote in as your plant being a small crypt.
i might could do the plants in a couple of weeks. i need to get some cash by mowing lawns and such, but ill definently contact you when i have the monay. i definently have a male and female. the male is my avatar and the female is a pinkish color with little bitty red dots.
im thinking its a crypt too so im going to plant it and see how it goes. it definently doesnt seem to have a rhizome.
Also, you might have luck if you send a private message to Mademan. I know he's breeding those Biassa and having lots of success with them.
i actually bought mine from mademan but he doesnt get on very much anymore.
