Did a 50% WC on my Peps today, hoping they will induce them to spawn, since i moved them they havent even looked like spawning. As i look at them now though i see both males fanning like mad to try to bring the girls in *L* One can only hope they get going again.
Also its looking like a may have sourced a common male SF BN for my female, both breeding size. Fingers crossed it pans out. I kinda miss my commons.

Good luck on both counts
Sometimes it can take time for them to settle into a new enviroment but it sounds encouraging that the males are trying to attract the girls

Tried the Peps on some capsicum, so far they arent even looking at it *L* Fussy beasts!
The cherry shrimp that share their tank though are breeding up a storm and are having the odd nibble. They'll try anything!
Cherries in with ya noses is the best thing since sliced bread. I've never seen such a clean tank, the shrimp keep it spotless!

I don't blame the fishes. It took me almost 2 weeks to get used to our new bed.

2 weeks i could cope with, but this is like 7 months *LOL*......i did change the substrate in their old tank, thats what 1st put them off. Then i moved them to a custom tank i had made.
