Davd-lw Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 female siamese fighters are fighters as well. sometime they do fight, and could be as serious as male, bigger and well planted tank may help, and also putting more females with them or one male in a female tank may help.

Adrienne Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 As David says. Females are more inclined to fight when the weather is changeable and when a cold front is coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matto Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 so is this normal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Depends on the individual fish but it is not totally abnormal. I posted some pics on here a while back called 'females at war' and it was my 5 best breeding females in an all out fishfight. They shredded each other - then there was a mighty thunderstorm. Far better than the met office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 maybe i should get some more what do you suggest for a 130L tank ? my red spot cat fish is eating most of my plants Now I'm getting a better picture - if your tank is that size what else apart from the 3 female fighters, angels and a catfish do you have in there?
