WELL I DID SOMETHING TODAY THAT I HOPE WILL WORK. I KNOW ITS CRAZY BUT I PULLED THE MALE SNOWFLAKE OUT. I FEEL HE IS INFERTILE. 6 CLUTCHES AND HE DIDNT FERTILIZE ONE EGG. I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL MALE WITH ANOTHER ONE AND HOPEFULLY I WILL GET A BETTER OUTCOME. I HOPE IT WAS A GOOD MOVE. THE ONLY BAD THING IS I TOOK THE MALE FROM ANOTHER SNOWFLAKE PAIR, SO NOW I HAVE A LONLY FEMALE SNOWFLAKE BUT I AM GOING TO PUT A SMALL BLACK OCCILERIS WITH HER IN THE MEAN TIME ILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED

Ok well the swap was done about a month ago and we finally have the males first spawn with the big girl. He did not even care about fertilizing he ate as she was laying. It is their first spawn and I feel like its a neverending cycle but All i hope is that i find one egg fertile please say a prayer for my young moronic male lol here are video and pix. By the way the male that was with her is now a female and hopefully all my other 6 snowflake pairs will start spawning soon enjoy

Ok well he ate all the eggs. Once again this is a new male and he is only 7 months old. I hope he learns quick which im sure he will because if he doesnt she will make sure he does by throwing him around the tank like a rag doll like she did last night. He is all torn up lol see what happensw men women abuse us when we dont listen lol

well the update today is the male has gone so far with only eating half the nest. I know this one will do the job maybe two more spawns and hell be perfect. She is so big that its hard for him to get in there and fertiilize but he will find his way ill keep updates coming

well i got fertile eggs and i am going to put them with different parents to see if they will care for them. My male is definetly fertile as the results form the lab proved so. He has an egg eating habit and its ####### me off but he is young only about 8 months so it will take him a bit. I have 7 snowflake pairs so I am bound to have some very soon. I am just as eager as you are trust me thanks for watching
