I am still having no success in getting a hatch out of my hemichromis 'cf. cristatus UL-1's' (avatar) & have ruled out so far- pH, water chemistry & flouride ( I thought for sure that this was it). Presently they are in RO water with a low tds & a pH that has been as low a 4 (presently @ 5.5), the temperature has varied from 78 to 85. Frequent water changes & a good diet (Live, frozen & dry). I have tried both pulling the spawn & leaving with the parents, no joy either way. I also had the same problem with Ramerizi but have had no problem with other soft water species such as F2 peruvian angels. It's a real puzzler. Oh yes, I also have had no hatching success with a proven pair of tilapia joka under conditions as described above.
