So once again, another spawn goes begging. How depressing:irked:
I've had real aggression problems with this male, so this is only their second attempt in over a year. Hopefully next time they will succeed.

Anyway, here's a few pics. We all like pics.

what a great pair of fish shame they didnt manage this time but it will be worth the wait for when they do
 
The eggs are all white, not fertilized from the male. At least your half in the game. I have had my fish since March with not a single egg dropped yet. My female had her tube showing when I bought her but havent seen it since. She was in a 38gal with about 2 dozen males when I bought her. Shes now in a 120g with 3 males. They keep showing signs of spawning behavior but nothing yet.
 
Better luck next time. Those fish are fantastic looking.
 
Thankyou everyone.

So what went wrong? male eat the eggs or didn't fertilize them?

They were not fertilised.

Remove two of the males and your chances will dramaticly improve, if she's mature enough.
