There could be a number of reasons as Ls have a tendency to spook easy. Maybe the male wasn't happy with his cave or it's position, eggs weren't fertilized properly, another fish disturbed him or he's just learning still. Ls are alot harder to breed successfully than bn, the key is perfection. Parameters, temp, lighting, water flow, weather, aeration, tank mates, number of males and females or even the amount of traffic going past the tank. | |
