[Abominable Reef]

Well, here we are at day 17 since the last spawn, and no new clutch. They were cleaning an area a few days ago, but did not spawn. Is this normal? A couple of things I did since the last spawn is to remove the cleaner shrimp, and also placed two terra cotta disks near them in hopes that they would spawn on them. They didn't show much interest in the disks though. Do you experts out there think that could have disturbed them too much? Should I remove the disks?

Also, I am having trouble getting my rotifer culture up past about 20 rotifers/ml in a 5 gallon container. Assuming they will spawn again, will that be adequate for them?

Thanks for any help
