Water Gardening: spawning, 1 by helenchild

I am strictly an amatuer fish keeper. I get my fish @ PetSmart as tiny babies and then grow them.
Anyway my fish never spawned this year! They are all about 8 years old and have regularily done the wild thing in the spring for the past say 4-5 years. So it seemed strange that this year they seem to forget?? (who would forget to do that ;-).
Any way they all seem healthy and none of the females seem loaded with eggs. This is a picture of them several years ago.
Maybe someone has an explanation.
Thanks.
