spawning "pair"? seems to have quit

[brady]

I had a potential pair that never stopped laying eggs, guarding them ect. So I put them
in there own 40 to give them an opportunity to breed peacefully.
This wae 2 weeks ago. What do you think if I put them back in the 75 with the 3 other fish
OR put one of the fish from the 75 into there tank would initiate spawning?

I'd give them another week or so before I put a 3rd fish in.

I agree with Liz Jay.. its only been a few weeks since you moved them.. give them more time.

Trust me Jay they know what there talking about. I almost gave up on mine but she finally showed him what she wanted him to get done. Al's pretty good at what he does also, you don't start a forum without knowing or naming what it for. Just my opinion Jim in Ohio

It's all about helping others succeed. It doesn't always happen the first time unless you're lucky. Jim. You should document your first try, as well. Even if you fail the first time, we can help you and it will help others who are timid about trying and perhaps failing All it takes is trying again and again until the magic happens. If you don't give up, it will happen. I know from experience. Right now I've got it going on, but only because of the help I got here from Cliff.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Jay.
