<p>Having only one female is a problem. I understand that 4-5 females to 1 male is best. Probably keeps the male more occupied. Sometimes you can have an over aggressive male too. Sounds like you're doing what you can to breed your female. Good luck.</p>

Yes, she has a pipe to hide in. I've draped a towel over the nesting end so their is more privacy. They seem calmer and quieter. Hope it works!

<p>Do you have something the female can hide in like a small to medium terra cotta pot?</p>

<p>I have been trying to get my tilapia pair to breed. Female lays eggs randomly, but ignores it. I keep a screen between male and female, he is very aggressive and brutally attacks her. There a moments when they seem to want to be together, but then ends up too rough and I separate. Is this normal breeding behaviour? Are there signs to look for to proper time to put the two together? I'm just afraid he'll kill her, she is my only breeder.</p>

<p>I just added the swirl filter because of solids build up. I also put some red wigglers in the bed to break down the solids. The pump goes to the filter which dumps into the GB.

Hahaha, yeah cleaning would suck if they are small.<br />
We talked about it and if we get to many fry we might start feeding them to our bluegill as they would love it.
