feed earth worms. and/Or food laced with garlic. Water change with water a liiittle bit colder than tank water. then privacy for them(decors/plants/remove tank mates).
repeat
Then patience . mm what else idk right now

maybe you got an infertile FH female. They drop tube and all but you will wait the rest of their life with them but never an egg.

man get him another female. Get him a red dragon female.

get her a real red dragon. That's not really a red dragon fm. the blue on her defeats that.. But good luck with them.

Lol trust me she's a super red dragon. The first batch from same parents didn't get the deep red across whole body until about 8 inches. She's 3 inches max so she's got a while until she gets all the red. My big male has same blue pearls across whole body as well. Most SRD do.

Go colder. More like 74-76 was for my female to lay eggs. I kept them around 78. In general why are you keeping them at such a high temp?


It's at 86 right now. Should I go any higher ?

Cause this is what I was told by all breeders I asked. Most said keep at 86. Then some said 88. But I'll try your low temps. Never seen FH kept in temps below 80. Hopefully it works. Thanks.
