I have. I did see a tiny noodle around 12 months ago that was not at a time when I was adding. I assume he's still in there, but all grown up. The tank has around 9 in there, but with so much cover it's a case of trying to find them after dark when they come out to hunt. The tank is a jungle. The the females are way more exploratory than the boys.
Sometimes they come out when I'm doing a gardening mission to say hi. They seem happy and healthy so I let them noodle as they want. There are shrimp and MTS in the tank too, plus a betta who is fascinated by the noodles.

Mega noodle. She's a chonk
Reverse noodle is a bit harder when you're that thick!
Is this level of thick normal for a female? The girls are always stuffed with eggs, the boys more slender and wiggly.
They all started off as tiny around two years ago, now this writhing mass of noodle explorers 🫶
Have you tried big water changes with cooler water to try and induce laying/ breeding?

What’s the lacy looking plant? Can’t wait for my planted tank to become a jungle😩
Aponogeton madagascariensis, it's interesting, has mad phases of growth then goes dormant a while. It's beautiful.
Whole tank is a bit messy, I like the jungle look and the livestock seem to love poking through the plants.
