update:

since the fry got gobbled up, no more fry.

she will not even lay the eggs.

he tries everyday all day.

she refuses to lay her eggs.

i am soooooo confused.

how can i compel her to drop her eggs?
 
Just takes time. With the previous batch being eaten, she may have become extra stressed. Is he keeping her in hiding? Either of them may have eaten the previous fry. Hard to say why. My male has been aggressive toward the female since they ate their first batch of eggs a couple weeks ago.

Higher temps (80-82) and a protein rich varied diet might speed things up a little (Bloodworms, etc). In my case, rearranging their tank triggered the first spawn, thinking of doing it again this weekend.
 
ahh, ok, great advice.

here is the plan then:

water change
adjust water temperature
grubs/night crawlers/blood worms
tank items swap/rearrange

will post on results.

Thank You!!

Success at last!
