Hi, I've got a large, fully adult, beautiful pair of nijsseni's that just
won't spawn.  They're in a large planted tank with tons of dither fish
(potting soil under the gravel).  The pH is 6.5 and I've had it much lower.
Temp is 80F.  I've got blue rams that spawn constantly in the same water.

So my question is what the heck did you do to get the nijsseni to spawn??
