Breeding Nematolebias whitei

["LohK L" <timebomb at pacific_net.sg>]

Hi, folks,

I've been trying to breed the Nematolebias whitei without any success.
I have a male and 5 females in a 5 gallon tank.  I use a small flower
pot as a breeding bowl.  I filled the pot with peat moss up to a height
of about 2 inches.  The last time I had the pot inside the tank, I saw
the fish going in and out of the pot regularly.  Although I couldn't see
the action taking place, there was obviously plenty of it as there were
puffs of peat moss coming out from the mouth of the pot.  But when I
collected the peat a few days later, I couldn't find a single egg.  The
temperature of the water is about 86 degrees Fahrenheit and the fish are
almost 4 months old.  I feed with nothing but live tubifex worms.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
