Checked water parameters, all good. Nitrates were lower than i expected at 5.
Nick i see you had your temp at 24. Mines at 26-27. Anyone think this could be lowered?
All ive done since the last post has been water changes. Feeding 2x a week either zucchini or pumpkin.
Anything else i can try? Or do i just need to hurry up and wait?

well I can tell you that those b/n were in 29 - 30 degrees from when they were only a couple of cm's. About 6 months before you got them off me, they were reqularly fanning eggs in the D cave. the kribs i had were always picking off the eggs every opportunity they had. don't know why they wont breed for you.

lights on/off isnt an issue... but i recommend a 14 hour light cycle....
keep an eye on your females just feed twice a day... make sure all the morning food is gone before the night feed and vice versa... left over food - cut volume down a bit.... and when girls are fat as whack through a couple extra water changes.... 30% is fine... dont need to go overboard... once a week 30% will be fine untill females are fat and gravid... then do 3 in a row over 3 days... then no more water changes for 2 weeks....
only food exception being zucchinni it can stay in tank 2-3 days till all eaten... or it goes soft ready to mush into your tank water....
if they still wont breed then you have a water issue... prob heavy metal contamination..... best to get some EDTA and add to your water changes to rectify that... (can get it from aquotix)
the males you got from should be up to doing their part... must be a female issue... sounds like humans now!!! lol
