ok i have only had a couple spawns and now they havent had any in about 3 months. i used to have a whisper filter in their tank but now i have a sponge filter. Could the filtration be a problem? If not please comment cause i will like these guys to spawn alot for me.

hmm..
did you have the whisper filter running at the same time or did you just throw in the new and remove the old?
because if you have then the filter media will need time to regrow, this may be whats affecting your Temporalis.

I had the same problem with my Meleagris, They stopped spawning and I believe it has to do with some type of change. I suspected the drastic stocking change as well as the lack of attention they got after. They spawned 2 or 3 times and then suddenly stopped. Try giving them some live food and skip a water change. I'm getting a WC pair of Telmatochromis Dhontis and im pretty excited  . My first telmatochromis besides the bifrenatus i had years ago. |

try giving them some privacy, i know it sometimes works for me. Though sometimes its not intentional I got them yesterday and the male is a giant! he must be around 4". female is around 3". |
