Here's the story: Two months ago I bought 3 juvenile thomasi butterfly cichlids. These are similar to rams, I believe. When they matured the one male picked a female and paired up. they spawned once, unsuccessfully, and from then on kept attacking the other female. I took the unpaired female back to the store and soon after the pair spawned once again. That spawn was also unsuccessful and after the eggs were gone the pair seemed to break up and now the male is really violent towards the female.
What did I do wrong?
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I thought I might get a bunch more of these cichlids and see if I can get another pair or two going. I really want to see a successful spawn, but the current pair doesnt seem to want to make amends.
BTW, the sig under here is no longer up to date, some fish have been removed due to over-stocking.
