FatherTime should have taken me up on my offer. Following the advice I got from Dale and Ingo at CatCon last October, I went back to basics by revising the diet I was feeding. One of the results is the contradens have started to spawn again and I have fry.

For the curious, I began feeding Repashy foods:
1. Spawn and Grow.
2. Fruut-Luups (Stephan Tanner's custom formulation).
3. A mix of 3 or 4 to 1 of Meat Pie and Soilent Green.
You know what they say "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him buy the fish" or something like that anyways! lol You tried to help him..... I guess he doesn't know a good thing when he sees it!
Congratulations on the spawn Chris.... keep up the good work!!

They are a mix of 11wild caughts I got from Jeff Rapp 7-8 years ago. They spawned for me a few times. However, over time I lost a some of them and I replaced the lost ones with offspring. My interests re spawning moved to other species and I stopped actively working with them. Now I need their tank for other species and I want to sell them.

I cannot guarantee they will spawn for somebody else. I have no idea of the sexes except that I am sure I have both. I have about 7 or 8 fish and they range from sub adult to adult. If you are interested I have what I call the best guarantee you will find for the fish I ship to folks. (Shameless plug.)

P.S. If I had the tank space, I probably should have taken you up on the offer. =)) My L201 big spots are sitting on their hands (fins) doing a whole lot of nothing!
