    Female doing all sort of shimmering dance around the new unconfirmed male, but the male looks not much bothered so far..

    Your male might still be too young or not fertile. Perhaps get a proven male or just let them keep trying until the male gets it right. Are you sure it's a male? I've found male to me very territory and protective. At least from my group of male.

    I got this as a proven male with wrigglers (but IDK),pretty matured guy and this is their second attempt. So what is ur WC schedule once spawned?

    Once spawn I was leaving the tank alone taking out waste and unbeaten food only, but I found that did not help my wriggler once they went free swimmer and died off during water change. Now I'm taking a normal approach with my Piwow pair and doing normal daily 25% WC with age water which is about 6-7 gallon off my 29 gallon. I keep it as clean as possible by taking out waste and uneaten food. WC regime will remain the same going through wriggler and free swimmer stage. Current eggs are doing good. Seems like all their eggs are about to hatch any day now. No white eggs.

    I only feed my pair FDBW, Super beef heart flake, and Prime reef twice daily. As you notice I only feed food that is easy to clean and will not spoil the water. At this point it's the waiting game...
