Umbee and dithers

So I have had my Umbee pair for a couple months now and they show plenty of spawning signs yet nothing happens. I have just recently started 20-30% WC's a day, cranked the heaters up around the 80 mark and varied their food options more. Just started these changes so I can't say if they work just yet. I was also thinking of adding dithers as to possibly keep the pair closer and working more together. I have the black belt and isletas I could throw in there that are big enough not to be swallowed whole. Let me know what your guys' opinions are! Thanks!

I dont think it would hurt. Mainly patience. You doing cold water changes? This works well for me.

Thanks man. I am doing the cold water out of the front spigot. Started that after one of your water quality threads on here somewhere, I just upped the changes 2x weekly to almost everyday just to see what happens.

I recently ordered this product that is suppose to improve fertilization abilities in fish, and to help entice them and get them more in the mood. I also read that frozen snails are a natural aphrodisiac for fish. I have yet to try this because I cant find anyone that sells frozen snails. Not the small ones that some of us have as pets, but the kind that we eat.

Umbees can be a waiting game. Got lucky with mine and they spawn monthly since 5". Be patient. Maybe try removing one for a while and trying a reintroduction after a few weeks. If they aren't killing each other I would just wait.

Madness you ordered some fish steroids ?? Sounds like something those crazy fh breeders would use.

Interesting madness, keep us updated if it works or not!

Thanks fishman, was hoping you would chime in as I know you have experience with these beasts.
