How can I encourage breeding?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You don't really need dailly water changes but you DO need to simulate seasonal changes...either with the water LEVEL as suggested or with IRREGULAR large (50% range) water changes.

I also need to back John and Dread up on the Hormone issue. This is another seasonal trigger that can indicate to a fish that others in the river or lake are spawning. Adding water from another tank housing a spawing pair or even just fry has been know to stimulate breeding. Altering the light intervals (lengthening generally) can also help stubbern cases.
 
Umm.. Who is John and Dread? hehe..
are you talking about the blackwater extract?
