firstly, they must become a pair. they will not breed until all of their needs are met
they're tiny when they hatch, in many cases it'll take minimally a year before they start to actually mate. and even when they do, without the proper food and care the baby fry will not survive, they require approx. 1000 rotifers a day. difficult to keep alive.. allthough they would make very good food for the rest of the tank inhabitants

Perhaps they are immature at this point. I beleive I told you that I have had mine for almost three years and they have not done any breeding.
What are you expecting? What are you really trying to do start your own store or something? It takes time and experience to do these things and do them right.
Be paitent, if it was meant to be then it will, but it could take a long time before it happens if at all.

high school isnt that bad at all, i'd take it any day over my middle school. my middle school was like a prison, strait lines in the hall, no talking in the hall, strait lines in the lunchroom or no gym, all the windows were painted black so u couldnt look out, and the class rooms were so quiet u could hear the clock tick, so anything is better than that, u'll love highschool its not really that hard at all, and u get tons more freedom! :happy:

Wow, I don't normally feel old, but hearing people complain about middle school and high school, wow, I must be old.
Cause I was about to say the real world is a little harder than middle school and high school, but @#$%, that's something my dad would say.

i dread getting old and in the real world, and i actually dread college. i dread getting the responsibility. i mean college i have to get serious cause i mean what i do in college will decide the rest of my life. i will probably move out which i will dread (i am the oldest and closest to home and the family) i mean i see what my parents go through everyday, jobs, getting up earlier, parenting, and everything and they have no free time, i dont know but i hope i change my mind:nope:
i dont wanna grow up!

Trust me, don't worry so much about it, what you do in college will NOT determine what you do the rest of your life. I have friends that barely graduated with English degrees that are now making six figures as VPs of computer and IT firms. And I know people who graduated law school top 10 in their class, and they didn't like law and after a few years they went to work for a magazine writing automobile articles. Your career track and life will jump and shift a few times, and you should be able to do what you want.
Btw, I didn't think i'd enjoy college, and it was the best time of my life. I'm fortunate enough to be able to experience five years of college (to get two degrees, not because i couldn't pass, I wasn't 'hookt on foniks' or anything)
