what are things that i can do to get the female to lay eggs shes allready digging and has pitts everywhere but is not laying eggs i do water changes twice a week:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
 
just be patient and have a divider ready incase it goes bad, the person you got yours from just had his pair spawn

the male wont go near the female shes vicious and he has marks on his lips there about 6" each female a little bigger than the male is there any thing i can do or just be pateint
 
Not sure if it will work but I re-designed the aquascape and then put a bucket of cool water in to drop the temp down 2deg. My female laid eggs within 48hrs of doing this.
Goodluck mate.
 
it would be a good idea to up grade to a tank with a 72"x18" foot print or larger and give your female alot of hiding spots or you will have a dead female on your hands and i know no one wants that if you keep your fish happy they will keep you happy just remember that good luck with your breeding i hope everything works out :)
