I need some help . I have a female that is very full of eggs .I got her like that . I have a breeding tank set up . i had a male in there . I then put her in , in her globe . He wouldn't even go near her . Wouldn't make a bubble nest . So tonight i took him out and added another male . She is still in her globe . The male i put in is going by her flaring . But so far no bubble nest . What do i do ?

What is your temperature? A warmer temperature of 78-80 F will sometimes stimulate. Make sure the other water parameters are good also such as low nitrates. In the wild, many fish breed when the water is lower in nitrates and and has a better Redox do to rains. www.americanaquariumproducts.com/AquariumKH.htmlOne other suggestion is waiting for the male to build a bubble nest BEFORE introduction as an indication of readiness. Bettachris or Katie can probably add a lot more here. Carl
