No More Lovin ???

[Ghumbee]

My Banggai's have quit mating

I had three or four broods early in the year and have not noticed any lovin going on since scaling down feeding to improve water quality, etc. and adding a foxface about two months ago.

Would more / better feeding possibly help them "Get in the mood?" The other fish do not seem to bother them either.




Thanks,
Chuck

My Bangaii's have just spawned for the first time (since I've had them anyways). I contribute this to the large feedings of frozen mysis and brine shrimp. More live foods yeilds more spawnings. less live foods, less spawnings. If you've cut back you're feeding, good chance this is why. I say live foods, but i don't think my pair realize that the mysis are not live.
