youngy_11 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 hi i have a colony of 9 mainganos 2m,7f. About a month ago 4 of the females had mouthfulls none were successful but it was there first brood. Since then they haven't breed again? They are in tanks which are in a storage rooom under my house, it is generally dark for most of the day because not alot of light can get in because the door is on the side of the house. Would this be a problem for their breeding or anything else? thanks ryan youngy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CThompson Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 fish have eyes for a reason - to see. If it is dark as you express, it sounds as though they can't find each other. Put a light on their tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kribbie Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 All you need is patient as well as feeding them well. Mine breed like rabbits regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
