Is the temp good (80-82), blackwater, and is the surface nice and humid? I cover 90% of the top for my boys to keep moisture & heat in, and it works wonders for their nests. I've also heard of people enticing the male to build by allowing him view of another male - either next to the tank or inside of a breeding trap IN the tank.

yeah i put a piece of black paper on top of the tank. he's like basically sitting under the cup

 

[splashluff]

Oh... I'm not familiar with black paper =P does it produce blackwater extract in the water?

 

[Wisperian]

nah but i dont want it to get too bright in there to scare them and it keeps it pretty humid in there

Might want to take the female out for awhile.. and try them again the next day.

 

[Wisperian]

update: silly male built a small bubblenest on top of the heater and ditched the cup

 

[Wisperian]

Yuhkay.... the dude didnt seem to be making a bigger nest so i put the girl in and so far, whee its been a big chase

 

[Wisperian]

UPDATE: The male made the nest a wee bigger and still chased the girl around. I guess the nest isnt ready yet? But gee, if it isnt ready stop chasing her and work on it

It's always a pain waiting for a pair to spawn when either on of them is not willing to cooperate. I hope they spawn for you..
