I have two male Convicts that are paired up. They move gravel together, they clean out their clay pot together. They keep every other fish away from their territory.
I have made several attempts to separate these two and place them in different tanks. Each of these tanks has a variety of females for them to pair up with. All the ends up happening is that both males chase the hell out of the females - so harshly that I put them back in the main tank upstairs. As soon as I do this, the two males pair back up and continue courting each other.
Anyone else run into this problem? I know sometimes females with pair up..
The reason I want to spawn these two males with some females is because these two males are my most attractive fish. Their colour and full flowy fins are very beautiful.
