Hey guys.

For the last year+ i have tryed hard to spawn two Brilliant tuq's.
They are a good sized pair, and i really dont want to give them up.

I had one spawn on them with a hatch rate of about 20 wigglers.
After a while, i moved the wigglers to a smaler tank, and feed them up.
This is now about one 8 months ago.

The pair have layed eggs every 5 days or so since i got them.
Now im wondering if my male is "shooting blank's" ?
could it be an idea of separating the pair for 2 weeks or so just to give the pair some "time of" the spawning, and could that give me better resaults?

I also had problems with them eating the spawn since the spawn almost every time end up with a few wigglers.
