Finally!
It seems that my biggest male was no good at all so i finaly gave upp and let all my l46 together in the same tank... a smaller male showed his worth and suddenly it worked as a charm! I´v only been wating for.. hmm 2-3 years for the big male to stop eating the eggs! well... his chanses has come to and end now and the smaller male is tha man in the house now Som blurry pictures, from this morning!

Congrats-
I know everybody has their own approach to things and that folks get results using different means. I have always felt that a spawning group/colony will yield better results than a pair or trio. It could be the fact that there is competition within a group or that spawning is "contagious". Perhaps once there are hormones in the water, they effect other fish. Whatever factors are involved, I have concluded that a colony is the way to go.

What makes the common person uncommon is common sense.
Thanks!

You might have a point here, in my case the females got accsess to an other male that probobly did his job better, the one before with no resoults has eaten all the eggs and is more fat then the females in their best condition
