well if I knew that, I would probably get the other tanks to breeding as well..

It could be due to several reasons:
the sex ratio in the group (could be quite some females I don't know by hart because when we sexed them some of them were hard to sex)
Or the lack of a big alpha male in this tank so more males have chances to breed.

I Still don't know why the other animals in the other tanks are not doing anything the last few months... we will sex the animals in the other three tanks on sunday and maybe this gives more insight.
