    Thanks guys! Couple of noticeable differences from last time: I saw the male make his runs this time, last time she laid in the middle of the night or early a.m. with no light. Last time he watched the eggs and ran her to a corner when she came near..I think her instinct was the eggs werent viable and she was trying to eat them. This time she is dillegently fanning them while he gaurds her with very few breaks when he fans & he usually has to run her off to let him takeover.

    Ive found in general good fish spawning triggers to be a few combinations. If u can catch a storm front coming through, try a water change with slightly cooler water and a nice big fat meal in the evening. I usually feed before wc, but to induce spawing for cichlids, Ive found it best to do after the waterchange with cooler water. My little experience. Or they will surely get in the mood when you are sick busy or going out of town lol. My rams are good for that!

    I'll try the change with cooler water. As for eating. They haven't ate in the week I've had this pair. So I guess I'll just wait till they decide.
