Posted	JULIDOCHROMIS MARLERI PROBLEM
04-05-2006 14:28 by Lexter	my previously breeding female is now refusing the let any other Juli Martleri in her section of the tank with her. I have 2 other males and 1 female in a different set-up. All 4 used to live happily together than one by one they got booted out of group until breeding female then booted out her own partner! every 2-3 weeks i try putting a different Juli in with her but each time after 24 hours the new Juli in there is cowering behind the filters!!! Really want to get them breeding again???? Should i get a different male from a shop and place him with her OR, move HER and place breeding male in there and buy a NEW FEMALE????? Any thoughts???

04-05-2006 17:18 by george	ok, i am no where near an expert onm these fish!!! dont know anything about them!!! but sure uve heard it and tried it, rearanging the tank around, this will literally make her loose her teretory.
04-05-2006 17:57 by heros hero	Had exactly the same problem and the advice above is bang on. Net the female out and completely rearrange the decor, introduce another small group and then your dominant female.I kept trying to introduce single males and she would tear them to shreds but the above method resulted in her taking another mate. Good luck and let us know what happens.
