danval Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi, I have a crowntail male who has blown a bubble nest and when i release the female in with him he seems keen initially and so does she but then she takes fright and all he wants to do is attack her. They are both of breeding age (about six months) and the female has the white egg tube showing and vertical banding. Is it possible they are just not compatible?

Adrienne Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 thats quite normal behaviour. put some plant or something else in the tank that she can run and hide behind. eventually when she's ready she'll come out. if she's being badly knocked around remove her, leave her where she can see him and vice versa and try again in another 8 or so hours.

danval Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I removed her overnight as she was quite badly chewed up. Shall I risk putting her back in so soon or wait till her fins regrow? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 females can take alot of damage to their fins (well atleast mine can) it's when her scales and body gets attacked you need to worry. If it's only her fins I'd put her back in as her fins hould mend pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
