i had a pair of kirbs, and everything was going good. right. they looked like they were breeding, the male and female were colored, in the flower pot. and then it just stopped. they are swimming away from eachother and staying on different sides of the tank, no more one is in the flower pot and the other is eatting type of thing. what happened?

Have you increased the temp and given live foods, added some more plants/caves? Sometimes they need a few cycles to get up and running. They drop the eggs and the male doesn't fert them. Or they lay 'em and promptly forget about them etc....

I am sure other peope will be able to give you more info than me but I don't want you to feel neglected....

Was this their first attempt? If so that could be the reason, often times they need one or two tries before they're successful.

Maybe they breeded & ate the eggs. Just give them some time & hopefully they'll breed.
