hi, i have 4 kribs (1 male, 3 female) in my 4ft community tank. all of the water parameters are fine. the pH is 7, and the temp is 24c. at first, for a few months after i got them, they spawned regularly, but none of the eggs hatched. but then, on the last time, about 20 babies hatched, but they didn't last more than a day or 2. that was approx. 6 months ago, and they haven't spawned since. but they regularly guard parts of the tank, sometimes for weeks, but there are never any fry. ATM, 1 female is guarding the plant pot, and another has dug under the bogwood, and is guarding that. the male goes between the 2, but mainly stays at the bogwood. i feed them Tropica Advanced Nutrition Fish Flakes daily, and live earthworms weekly. am i doing something wrong? how can i get them to breed again?

cheers :good:
