How to increase fertility in severum male ?

[LiorM]

Any tips to increase fertility for Male severum?

Spawning is not an issue, actually been trying to slow the female down to give the male time to recuperate.

he's fertile for sure cause had wigglers, but so far it's one for 8 tries. he does hover over the eggs, so seems like he's into the whole process,  just most times eggs remain unfertilized...

Thanks!

Try live foods. Black worms. Brine shrimp. Alternate with some pellets with vitamins added (e.g. aqueon pro revitanew formula pellets). Remember veggies: Omega One Kelp flakes.

I like to add vitamins E for males
