Link2Hell Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 PGR Nice pair of Jags The only thing I can think of is you may need to give them a good meaty feed with some prawn and/or sliced up fish pieces The female needs an increased protien intake to condition her and help increase egg production I have found this has been a trigger at times Gutty Check the markings on the fish, the female is the lighter one and they usually show only the mid body line and eye bar with a much yellower body colour HTH Cheers L2H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
