Hi there,
well, spring is almost here, so laying eggs should be on the priority list for my FBT... I've done everything I usually do to put the little guys is the right mood, which is:
- 1 month cooling at ~14°C and 7hours photoperiod during december
- gradually increasing the temperature to ~22°C and the photoperiod to 12h (it will eventually get to about 14h)
- Raising the water level
- plenty of food (flies and earthworms)
So, my two females are plump as can be, the males are healthy, but everyone seems only interested in eating. I mean, the males are not even calling
Last year and the year before, I've had lots of eggs with the same guys so there should not be any problem, right ?
What do you think I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks a lot,
Phil
