My Acaras Wont Breed!

[JohnRossDele]

hi all,
i restocked my tank 2 weeks ago to this 2 blue acaras, 1 krib, 6 cory doras

they have done every thing that relates to breeding apart from laying eggs
they cleared the flat stone i put in the tank 4 them, they head quiver, body quiver, (the usual spawning stuff)

but yet no eggs they have been doing this for 4 months or so *pulls hair out of head!* its so fustrating when they do every thing apart from laying eggs!

Are you sure you have a male and female?

What other fish do you have with them. How is your water. What's the temp.

well i'm not sure how your cories would cope but you could try raising the temp. are you positive they are male/female?

Do a large water change feed them some high quality food 2 times a day. The temp is fine. Do you have more then one flat rock for them to pick from? A water change should help it always gets my fish in the mood.

How big are they? How long have you had them?
