How do you collect the eggs? What have you changed in your technique is eems you have collected a lot more in recent batches than previously.

We have not changed so much, used a bigger hose to suck up the eggs. Now there are two pairs breeding and when they have spead out the egg, we suck them up as soon as possible.... We maby collect about 50% of all eggs, the rest they eat...

We feed them mostly with Hikari Cichlid Gold, but some time they get live fish, salmon pellets, shrimps and other foodfishes. They get a smal amount of food every day when they are breeding. But we they seems to be done we starv them and feed them once a week.

To try to set them of to spawn we make a 50% water change. There normal water temp i 27-28C but when we put in new water we drop the temp to about 26C. And them we give them more food. The next day after the water change the spawning can begin

How often do you do water changes when they are not spawning?
