Danny, Aaron, whoever,
I have had problems with Pseudomugil mellis also.
I am reliably told that you need a type of orange scum in the water, a kind of plankton but personally I can only generate green, black and dark brown plankton blooms and not always when I want them.
A number of QLD and Vic ANGFA members seem to be able to breed this fish without any trouble. Hopefully some of them will respond.
Later
Matthew

Subject: [RML] spawning blue eyes and rainbows
Hi all, I am reasonably successful most of the time at getting my rainbows to spawn but the following species I am finding frustrating. Are there any particular tricks to consider for these species that might just push things along (flowers, a quite cuddle beforehand, preferences of mops vs fontinalis, mop lengths, anything else).
G. wanamensis (I have no dramas with multisquamatus/maculosus/incisus/ramuensis under the same conditions)
Iratherina werneri
Pseudomugil mellis and furcatus
Any help would be appreciated
Dr Danny Brown
