Adrienne Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 several reasons - he may not be big enough and strong enough to squeeze the eggs out. Is she stunned after he wraps around her? She may be egg bound or she may not be old enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melrick1 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 The male may be too small to do the whole sqeesing thing, I had a male who had great trouble when the female was keen to go (so to speak lol). :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 How good is your eyesight? Did you remove the female after spawning? How deep is the water in the tank? The male might have eaten the eggs if you've been too nosey or the he might be firing blanks. If your female is a Melano Black (which I doubt) then they're infertile. Get a magnifying glass and a torch to see at night. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
