Hi - I have a question regarding my A. cacuatoides. I have a pair in a 60cm long tank. The female in the tank has produced three spawns by two different males in this tank. Each male died shortly after the spawn (not due to abuse from the female - one died while in another tank when I separated them to try and get more fry to survive). I introduced a new male into the tank about a month ago and it looked like they were going to spawn again immediately. Unfortunately, no luck so far. The tank is full of hiding places - three half flower pots for caves, lots of drift wood and live plants with oak leaves on top of a sand substrate. I'm using peat moss in the filter. Any idea why they aren't interested? Is it too soon for the female? I thought I read somewhere that you can try dropping the temp in the tank down by to the low 70s to simulate a cold rain - has any heard of this working? My temp right now is in the upper 70s (~78). I feed almost exclusively live glass worms with occasional live white works, frozen brine and frozen black works. The only other fish in the tank is one surviving offspring (about a 1/4 inch long) and a 3/4 inch long L85 pleco. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks!
