I have been trying to breed multies (lamprologus multifasciatus) for the past two months. Unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck.
I am trying to breed them in a 54 liter (14 gallon) aquarium. It is stocked with three females and one male. The water temperature is 25,5 degrees celcius (78 F). I feed them pellet food three times a week and frozen white mosquitoes mixed with frozen brine shrimp three times a week. The substrate is sand and there is a total of 22 shells in the aquarium.
I do a 25% waterchange once a week.
The fish move the sand to the corners and move the shells around the aquarium. But after a while they stop moving the sand and shells. I flatten the sand and move the shells around. They start moving the sand and shells around again but after two weeks they stop. Do I flatten the sand again and do I move the shells or do I leave them? There is not much action going on in the aquarium right now.
I don’t have a bright LED light on the aquarium. I have a regular yellow-ish “warm” home light on the aquarium. It looks natural in my opinion. Could this be the reason why they are not breeding?
They haven’t breed yet. What is causing this? I thought about adding one female and one male but I am not sure if this will help and if the aquarium is big enough. If anyone has any experience on breeding multies then please leave some tips
If people want to see pictures or information about the water perimeters let me know.
