Ok, which boy shall it be?

I have three male Pseudepiplatys annulatus (Clown Killies) and one, possibly two females.

I want to set them up to breed, and need to decide which male to put with the females.

One has a crimped tail, and is not a contender.

Out of the other two one is rather bossy and chases the other fish around, regardless of sex and has consequently been living in a separate tank with a couple of corys.

The other one seems rather timid, hangs around in the back of the tank and is a bit smaller in stature than the bossy male. The females are in this tank, one hangs around the front, the other is rather hard to spot most of the time and hides in the Java moss.

So... who should the lucky guy be, the Bossy one, or the Timid one?

Any ideas or comments appreciated, thanks.

if it was nature in charge

it would probably be the bossy one

this is where you get to play god for the killies

Well if I was the Killie female I would want to go for the bossy male... The challenge out of the two :lol:

I would try the dominant male and keep a close eye and if he doesn't work out then try the push over :lol:

IME in breeding fighters, the bossy one always got the job done a lot easier and faster than the passive one.

Was no mucking around. Just did the deed and that was it 8)
