For the last 5 months or so, I have been unsuccessful in attempts to breed zebrafish.

Water pH and temperature are kept constant and at appropriate levels. The light/dark cycle is appropriate. Males and females (sexually mature but = or < 2 years old) are sexually isolated in groups of 6 for either 3 days or 1 week. They are fed a diet of dry food in the early A.M. and P.M, as well as brine shrimp early P.M. Breeding tanks contain either rocks or marbles and mock aquatic plants. Fish selected for breeding are transferred to breeding tanks around 6 P.M. at a 2:1 F:M ratio. The water in housing and breeding tanks is continually filtered and cycled.

Is there anything I am missing?
