Re: Slightly Off Topic Question

Hi Stuart,
	Mike's advice covers most everything, except one very weird trick that
always used to work for me. When your water's soft, acid and peat
filtered, and everything seems right but nothing happens, take two thin
pieces of rock (I used thin -2cmx2cm- slate bars) and bury them. Over
this, place a flat piece of thin slate on the sand. Often, the
transvestitus, and other nanochromis, will get very excited about
digging out a space under flat rocks. As the rock settles on the
supports you've prepared, you have a cave and they have a ritual that
seems to matter to them. It was a consistent trigger for both
transvestitus and parilus.
	I know it sounds strange, and it was, but you might want to combine it
with Mike's excellent advice. All I'd add is since I don't have
blackworms, they do love chopped earthworms and especially whiteworms
for conditioning. Good luck. 
	The fry grow fast, so they are good for selling once you manage to get
some.
