Hey guys. so i have this Female flower horn and her tube has been dropped for about a week now. and still no eggs. anybody have any idea why this might be so?
Females can drop their tube and no eggs were being laid because there is no male in presence with her in the mean time. Happens all the time. Don't worry too much about it.
There are two males actually present. One is the Thai silk that is divided by a non see thru plexiglas. And the other male is with a clear divider where at first they seemed to be fine and paired off and now they jump to each others side and then they fight all the time
Right on the bulls eye as well. Just because there is a male in presence doesn't mean she will lay either. She may plump, and her eggs may be full, but she doesn't want to lay. I'd say get a male that likes her and she likes, preferably a male that is dominant over her but not aggressive to the point where she is scared of him. Keep in mind you must do a favor and cross your finger hoping the male likes the female, other wise she can lay eggs and he'll just punk her around or do nothing. Observe both of their behavior for hours, watch their dance pattern and mood pattern. This also includes how they communicate to each other and are they communicating the right language barrier between the two. One can pick up the wrong meaning or communication between each other and hell goes loose...
