Female has verticals, but hides from male?

Myates has some good advice there for you, Soady. I guarrantee she won't steer you wrong. :)

lol aww shucks :) I learned from some of the best here like Oldfishlady, indjo and such. And lots of research with grains of salt tossed in.. and actually breeding. Can't learn a whole lot until you actually do it! (thanks OFL).

I don't always sound as polite as I'm trying to be.. I just tend to go straight for the point :)

I'm sorry, Myates, if I offended you in any way.

[Myates]

You didn't.. :)

As much as I disagree with what you are doing Myrates has given you fantastic advice and I am glad you are conditioning them properly.

[soady]

I am glad too. :) It will go well, no worries.

I hope everything works out for you, Soady. Good luck with your spawn.

1 thing i can add is too much hideing space can be bad too wat i tend to do is after 3 days n the female is still hideing i will remove her n the male then set them back up why i do this ? most males as we know have they own was of doing things but wat i finds that works well is a 12 once plastic drinking glass fill it with water , place in in the spawning tank now the water in the tank should be a lil under the lid of the glass,wat u may find to happen from time to time some female may jump out on her own , u can give my idea a try next time, right now i'll say it is working for me about 95% of the time 16 of 20 spawns is abot that right?

Yes that technique is a proven good one chardzard. It does work for stubborn females and when excited enough will often jump out on their own when ready to spawn. Often with less abuse to the female.
