My least killifish seem to have stopped breading. Ive reduced my numbers for my 6 gal tank and have roughly a 1.5/1 female to male ratio of fish. Ive been feeding them multiple times a day with both live or frozen baby brine shrimp, nano fish food, and live vinegar eels. I can give tank parameters if needed but its a pretty neutral PH and moderate hard water. I do a 20-30% water change every 3-5 days. The tank is heavily planted. Anyone else have something similar happen?

How do you have 1/2 a fish? icon_wink.gif

Pump those numbers up! (Get more adults).  Sometimes 2 fish aren't compatible for one reason or another.  Do you have a HoB filter, or sponge?  If HoB, maybe they are getting sucked up.

I have about 5 females and 3 males. I have a sponge filter.
