yeah , i am sure the male is holding up his end of the deal. have the spawned before? sometimes it takes a female a few tries to figure it out.
another reason is you may have too much aggression for the female to feel safe. are there lots of places for her to hide out of the site of the males?

hmmm. when did you see them holding. i get tricked sometimes when i watch the tank after feeding and they really have a mouth full of food. sometimes they hold the food forever to keep it from everyone else.

Tumbling is a good idea... it takes the stress off the female who can return to eating, and you won't have to worry about losing the fry is she decides to not follow through. I just bought a few supplies from david and stripped my fish... I now have over 40 electric blue johanni fry!

Would love to make you one if I had the extra supplies. I only bought enough parts from a group buy to make me the two that I needed. I can look around LFS to see if they carry similar supplies to build you one. I'll let you know.

the bullseyes and some plastic lift tubes that come with sponge filters. i am not really sure if they have the plastic tubes but i would check with hong on that. i know all he got were the bullseyes (found under sponge filters) from kens.
