Malcom doesn't work!!!

[rita]

All three of my females have eggs in their bellies, (Tybalt's so fat that she's lucky her legs touch the ground!!! lols), and have even been nudging Malcom around the tank, but he just WON'T DO ANYTHING!!!! Tried playing around with water temperature and amounts of daylight, and... NOTHING!!!!
Any suggestions anyone???

wow, i had the opposite problem, i put my male into the main tank and 2 hours later he was dropping s/phores everywhere. maybe if you took the male out for a bit, and introduced him back into colder water. the only other time they did anything was when i did a water change.
good luck with that though. raising little axoltols is alot of work. (more than i thought it would have been) you have to be willing to take 1-2 hours out of your day while they are small. but its worth it... maybe just the once. lol.

lols. maybe I should borrow ur male!!
Well, I'll try everything to try to get this guy to get his act together.
Though the water change one didn't work either. I even put in a whole new filter system, because I thought the other one might be making the water too turbulent...
Silly Malcom... I'll try taking him out for a while and see if that works...
