I got a few paradise male and female all adults and have tried to breed them unsuccessfully 2 times!
Male makes nest; female is gravid, both times the nest filled with eggs; however they were an odd mucus/snot color and 4 days later never hatched; temp is at 80f and water is at 4 inches in their 10 gallon tank; some plants are in there, they do everything they are supposed to; please help as I really need to breed them as to fill my 200 gallon; I have the albino, red, black, blue, Spikey and the rare round tail type paradise fish; all pairs male and female.... All my girls are gravid as they have been conditioned with daphnia and artemia the past few weeks, I have spawned bettas for over 20 years and didn't do paradise fish because they were easy to find but now they are rare and I want to fill my downstairs tank full of them and keep my Oscar/cichlid 320gallon upstairs
For a guy like me who has had no problem breeding gouramis, Oscars, discus and angels.... This is disheartening!!!! I need this to work as me and my girlfriend love paradise fish, please help me and tell me what I did wrong; I did them just like betas setup wise, why are the eggs not hatching??
