| 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. | |

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. | |
