I was thinking maybe there's a season for this species to breed ? or maybe I 'll have to wait a big barometer pressure drop and/or full moon ? or something else ... Any idea ?

Thanks for the tips. I like the idea of putting it into the food. Is there any effect of garlic oil in the water on the bacteria involved in ammonia conversion (they are Gram neg. as well)? On the other hand, if people are using it with Discus fish, it can't be bad .

Is there anything like: too many ...
