YAL05T Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Move the caves/logs around. change the decor a bit and do the usual wet/dry season, feed to condition etc. Also if you only have one male introduce a new one, worked for me when my grumpy old bloke stopped for a bit, now with a new young buck in there they are both going off Good luck, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquaholic Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 put them in a different tank with a new breeding log and some wood.(no other fish) then do nothing for a few weeks - if nothing happens start doing cold water changes. Try it, it should work. I think it has something to do an inbuilt survival mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 All good advice, sometimes they just stopmoreso if you have a 1 male to a lot of females. So try the things above or move the male for a couple of weeks and feed them all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
