You can have my lots' eggs if you want. I find fulicas eggs almost every single week. It's a nightmare.

Are your fulica related? If they are, then they won't breed. Don't think there is a way to make them breed, they will when they feel the conditions are right, or they feel like it.  |

Some of mine are related and the eggs they laid are fertile. I hatched a few.
a, I suppose if the tank is set up right, your fulicas will breed one day. The more you want the eggs, the more impatient you get. When you are not expecting, I am sure they will lay eggs one day. Some of them are late getting mature.

not always, only if they breed then the young breed them their young breed, and the inbreeding gets out of hand

does it make any different if they are related or not
coz i have 2 related tigers so should that mean them being related = less change of eggs

if they are related they will usually take longer to breed but may eventually, it just results in babies that arent' 100% healthy

Ive been waiting ages for my margies to mate and they have just laid eggs, i think its cos the weather is nicer or because the days are longer or something, so maybe yours will lay eggs soon!
