Help! No interest in breeding!

[Macropodus]

If your male is just stubborn and doesn't seem interested you can just put him with another male for 10-15 mintues to get him more interested. You could also put another male's shed in with your breeder male.

Do you know another person who can provide a fresh shed from a male? ...

This is interesting. The basic premise being to make the animal aware of competition. Works with other species too, including humans

Could you comment on employing the reverse, i.e. if the female doesn't seem interested put her with another female for 10-15 minutes &/or put another female's shed in with her. Thanks!
