What should I do?

[Nusema]

Right now I have a 40 gall with a male and female convict, and two pictus cats.
My male convict chases my female a lot, I've tried rearranging the tank and making more hiding places, and turning the temp down to about 72-74 degrees. He still chases her, what should I do? I am considering getting another female convict and another pictus to distract him possibly, but would that be to crowded? Any suggestions. :idea2:

"My male convict chases my female a lot"
He wants to breed. Another female convict will help with aggression towards the other one, but soon you will have lots of babies.

Don't add another kittyfish. if the vics mate the kittys will cause problems for the new family, or become lunch, depending on thier size. i tried the flower pot thing w/ my jewels but they just laid out in the open. keep an eye out for a patch of eggs, about 1/2 mm to 1mm translucent balls in a patch 1/2 in to 3 in. The female will most likely be guarding it w/ her life and "fanning" the nest w/ her fins. After a while if you look hard you'll see 2 little black dots inside. those are cute little baby fishie eyes
