Andrew,
It sounds like you have a good set up. One question do you have
gravel? I have noticed that most pseudomugils (at least the ones I have
worked with) will oviposit in gravel rather than moss or mops. I was also
told that they needed a cool period to inhance spawning. Here in Honolulu
our mild winters are enough to give them a chilling and they spawn in the
spring. At least that is what I have been told. My pair just
disapeared......
