bestfish Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 yeah about once a month is the average. once they breed do not change there enviroment ie water and filteration. as in if you have a power head for eg do not swap it for a sponge filter. do the same thing as you did and they wont stop breeding.

computerman Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 My BN have not laid again sice april, with the male having kicked the eggs out twice, I thought he may be shooting blanks so have bought a nice big albino male, they fight now and then, but still no more eggs, any suggestions!?

bestfish Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 if the females are nice and plump and the males are in the log try large water change. if this doesnt work change around their enviroment a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avarice Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Anyone have any tips or tricks into getting their B/N to start spawingRegards Marc Hey mate, fatman here. I get them to breed by feeding 'em some bloodworm (about 1 frozen square per 4 adults) two days before I do a 50% water-change, then the next day I put one skinned zuchini in the tank (tied down so it doesnt float). On the third day of treatment, suck out all the muck left over from this heavy feeding while doing a 50% water change. After your tank is nice and full again put in an ice tray worth of ice (use judgement here, you dont want to drop the temprature below 18 degrees). Keep the heater up as cold water triggers the breeding cycle but the actual breeding happens in warm water. Thats what I do with a decient amount of sucess. 7 adults usually drop 2-4 large clutches per month. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
