Are you putting any fresh veg in? That may boost him/her.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Last thing I do every night is switch the tank lights off, there he was last night rasping away on the rocks. First thing this morning, lights on and he's dead :(
I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. There were no signs of illness he was swimming about and eating. It seems to happen every time.
Information on these plecs breeding seems pretty scarce they don't seem to breed often in tanks. I can't tell you how disappointed I am.....
