If - here I emphasize if - I'm right saying : 1 mature male, 2 immature males or dominated matures, 1 mature female, you'll have to monitor the 2 immature/fominated as you could encounter squabbles/fights between the 3 males. Who sold you these rams ?

So.... it might be 3 males (1 mature, 2 immatures) and 1 female (any pinkish patch) ? The 2 that have "bonded" would be 1 mature male and the supposed female.

Those are soft acidic wather fishes : pH 6 to 7 - GH KH below 8 - Temp. 25-26°C. Can you provide them, and to others too, these parameters ? These 3 need a jungle including floatings, many hiding places, and dim light to thive. Considering plants you noted above they are very insufficient. In...

Hello :) Could you please give some details : - can you spot some black spine(s) at the front of the dorsal fin ? - any ram that has longer dorsal fin than others ? - Any ram showing a pinkish patch level with pectoral fins ? - Same ram always pursuing others ?

I easily imagine him laughing up his......... sleeve :lol:

2 years...... cats are definitely............ special LOL !

Fish-cam........... interesting !

Maybe................ partner-swapping :rofl:

Many fishes are polygamists 😳😁

I love Mollies, so many colors and patterns !

Hi @BLK could you please answer the questions I touched above ?

Hello :) Mollies are hard alkaline water fishes that have nothing to do with your other fishes thar are soft acidic water ones.

20-25% every day until NH3 NO2 NO3 are zero, being around 3 weeks. What pH GH KH ?

Very little.

For the most part in substrate and filter medias.

Nitrogen cycle starts again. First stage is ammonia. Yhere are NO beneficial bacterias in water, so no, it wouldn't help. WaterchangeS until NH3 NO2 NO3 are zero, being around 3 weeks.

I think the one that is picked on is a female due to the pink patch. What's your opinion ?

If you see this organ on a female with a very round/protruding belly, it means that egg/fry laying is imminent or just done.

You're welcome.

Ovipositer is a tiny organ tube-like that females use to lay their fry.

Hmm... may I suggest levitation ?

It's up to OP, would be nice :)

Hey :) Fish care starts with the respect of the life conditions fishes require, being : water parameters, temp., school/shoal behavior or on its own (alone) behavior, swimming style, swimming area, feeding preferences, etc etc. You'll have to test your tap/source water to know to what fish it is...

Hey :) Whatever Gouramis, they want soft acidic water, meaning : pH 6 to 7 maximum GH (hardness) below 8 KH (alkalinity) below 6 Very slow flow Heavily planted tank including floating one. can you provide these conditions to them ?

Hey :) Any egges in your tank ?

NeoLamprologus multifasciatus is beautiful too. Its fav shell is Neothauma tanganiycense also. Same parameters. If I remember well, no Chironomus plumosus aka Tipula annularis aka earthworm as they tend to poison fish living in hard and alkaline water like Tangafish. You should prefer feed them...

What is 100 ppm ? Hardness/GH ? If yes, 100 ppm = 5.60 °GH. That is rather soft. Could you please provide : pH (tap/source water and tank) GH-hardness (tap/source water and tank) KH-alkalinity (tap/source water and tank) Ammonia (tap/source water and tank) Nitrites (tap/source water and tank)...

Hello :) Please provide : pH (tap/source water and tank) GH-hardness (tap/source water and tank) KH-alkalinity (tap/source water and tank) Ammonia (tap/source water and tank) Nitrites (tap/source water and tank) Nitrates (tap/source water and tank) Water changes (volume, frequency) Feeding...

Hey :) Betta ARE soft and acidic fishes. I need to know : pH (tap/source water and tank) GH-hardness (tap/source water and tank) KH-alkalinity (tap/source water and tank) Ammonia (tap/source water and tank) Nitrites (tap/source water and tank) Nitrates (tap/source water and tank) Water changes...

I remember some Swordtails males pursuing females while giving birth....

Don't be sorry, we all have been beginners ;) Frankly speaking I'm unable to spot the gonopodium on the "two others".

Hey :) The only way to suggest cause(s) is to know all this past or present : Setup : Pics of the tank/pond Liters/gallons Live plants Nitrogen cycle Filter capacity Temp. Parameters : pH GH (hardness) KH (alkalinity) Ammonia Nitrites Nitrates Water changes Tests Livestock number and species

Two are surely females. The two others could be males that just ate.

That is to say in numbers ? Those tiger barb, bristle pleco, corycats, black skirt tetras prefer a soft acidic water and show better colouration in a well-decorated set-up. The addition of floating or overhanging vegetation and driftwood roots or branches also is appreciated. They are...

Either it is a dominance between males, or it is two females pursued by two males. Clear pics would be helpful ;)

This one shows a beautiful shell :)

There is enough plastic on Earth, isn't it ? No plastic in my tank !

Ignorance. Refusal to make the least effort. This motto I dislike 'it is just a (expendable) fish.

Keep us tuned ;)

Hey :) 40 gal. seems ok to me but not below : it is a territorial fish that will defend its shell and the small territory around it vehemently. Their favourite shell is Neothauma's. Needs pH 8-8.5 - GH 16-20 - KH 8-15
