A. Melanopus Ready to Spawn

[jwreffner]

Ok, I have two A. Melanopus that have been in a breeding tank for the past 3 months. At first they were hovering at opposite ends of the tank and now for the past few weeks they have been huddling together on one side of the tank. They have been pal-ing around quite a bit now but I'm wondering how can I get these little guys to start spawning? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to get them to started!

TIA

Feed them a lot of high quality food. Keep the water quality high.

Grrrr...

Just my luck they are really finiky eaters. They hate most frozen foods and only like flakes. These two are the worst eaters I've ever had!!! Perhaps I'll start using vitamin suppliments like Zoe or Selcon.
