I don't use it and rarely do water changes either. Those who have seen my tank know it doesn't smell and the water is clear. It is also heavily planted and understocked.
As a teetotaller I have never been inside a liquor store so didn't know they had little bottles. Are they expensive? I don't want to waste money giving you lot a laugh 8)
My bigger males tend to do that but they never actually harm any other fish and eventually the other fish just move far enough out of his way then ignore him.
I do not have access to a burned out car the right size but could find plenty of empty alcohol bottles around the streets unfortunately. They would be too big next to the trolley though and I don't have any of those little sample sized ones.
The trolley itself came from a certain red emporium. It usually sits on my bench with bananas in it. 8)
I would separate them if you can. He will always harrass, and possibly kill, the younger male. Unless you have a large, densely planted tank where he has plenty of places he can escape. Make sure he gets his fair share of food too.
Breeding grass is more for egg layers. Livebearer fry will move all over the place so floating plants will be helpful too. Of course, if they are in a tank with no other fish at all they don't need anything although, if the mother is in there too she will eat as many as she can.
I've gotta ask... are those blood corpuscles sitting beside the tank?

So you must be within easy reach of World of Water (formerly Tropical Blues), you lucky things. Have you considered joining the Waikato Aquarium Society?
