firenzenz Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Change always helps. Leave them alone for a few weeks, with no water changes, feed them up, then water 50% change, maybe up the temp 2-3 degrees, change territories and see what happens.

ryanjury Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Agree with firenzenz there, a good change helps, moving tanks or dropping temp with a big water change or turning heater down a few degrees then back up again.. Sometimes they just stop for no apparent reason and it is when you forget about them or give up that they breed for you.. What are you feeding and are their any other fish in the tank?

phoenixb Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 There are some red zebras in the tank, and also some electric yellows and two electric blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 It is possible there might be too much going on in a 200L tank with those fish for them to breed, 200L is fairly small for hap species that like a bit of room.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
