hi guys i have 2 male monos and 2 females. one of the females have spawned 3 times now and the males don't seem to be interested in fertilizing them? do you think that they're may be a better chance if they were in a tank on their own i have 2 oscars a jag and silver aro in with them any advice would be appreciated.
 
ok, best advice I can give you is if you want them to spawn, put them in another tank BY THEM SELFVES. If you don't want them to then leave them in there any if she lays the eggs again just be ready to take them out. Now if you do want them to spawn then put them In there own tank like I said before. Then every - days do a 25% wc on the first day then on the third day 50% wc then on the fifth do a 75% wc then after that go back to the 25 50 75 25 50 75 pattern. Now when you do that put in cold water. that simulated the rainy season. Now if he fertilizes them wait until you are ready to sell the fry before you start asking if people want them because I had about 500 or so then I have about 10 left so. but keep us updated on how they do. any other question just PM me

my question is do you really want to breed them? and sell/keep the fry?

Hey there Joey822. I had a few questions. I just messaged you.
 
if need any advice pm me questions can help out, it is not an easy task and requires commitment the whole way through otherwise ur efforts are gone to waste.

The water changes that joey has suggested i would say are a bit extreme but everyone has there own approach
