I have a 15 months old Cobalt pair. I have them in my 60g tank since September. Recently (2 weeks ago) after i prepared all the breeding conditions i dropped slowly the temperature to 82F.
They started to clean heavily the PVC pipe since then but nothing else.
They do not want to spawn.
Any ideas , tricks ?
I feel like i am missing something.
Is it the patience?
I do daily wc. 30% and 50% every other day.

A 60 gal breeder is so large...you might want to try adding a discus or two to get them defensive of territory..

you don't mention the waters conductivity? play around with it...if they are in RO water...switch them to tap for a a few weeks then drop the conductivity with a large RO water change...if they are in tap water now...try RO.

be patient...if they haven't spawned before they are still young and may take a bit longer.

Do you think i should try some live food ?
Does it trigger spawning ?
