I have had a mated pair of Mustangs now for 3 yrs.
They do there normal mating dances all the time.
But never has the male been pregnant!
I have a 29gal hex.

Does anyone have any idea why no babies?

Could be many things... tankmates, temperatures, light cycle, layout of the rockwork, lack of an open/unobstructed area of the tank, etc etc etc.

During the transfer, the pair usually starts at the bottom of the tank and swims upwards to the surface. If there is no area for this to happen, the courtship would be interupted/stopped.

I know nothing about your tank or setup, so I'm just mentioned a few of the many possibilities.
