After 10 months of no spawning, I removed male #2 and replaced with male #3 which is from the same wild collection as male #2. I also moved both of them into a 20-gallon tank on the same broodstock system. This new pairing is now called V3.0.

Success! In just under 3 weeks, we have a spawning with this newly formed pair! I was viewing Bangaii porn. There are a few eggs on the bottom of the tank and the female's vent, and they are circling lots. Either they don't know what they're doing or she hasn't released the main bundle of eggs. Why they are breeding just after lights out is beyond me...silly fish.

No further action with this pair. The male is beating the female up a bit. Time to purge this pair from the breeding room.

I've tried her with three males now. She didn't spawn with either of the first two, and only once with this one in June. I think I just need a new female. Since Bangaii are only reproductive for a short span, it's probably worth my while to just start off with a new pair. I'm good at sexing them, so I can get a pair together no problem.

She's big. She would be about 2 1/2 years old now.
