Fish Fanatic
So, I had a Green Terror that I was unsure was male or female. It's colours were strikingly male, but it's body shape was female. I took a gamble and put another younger male in the tank with it. They've been getting on well for a couple of months. 3 or 4 days ago though the female became fairly aggressive towards him, and he's sporting a few wounds. Yesterday I noticed the female acting strangely above a flat rock only to discover she'd laid loads of eggs. After a quick bit of research - I became worried for the rest of the fish in the tank (loaches & catfish) so I dashed out to the shop and spent a ridiculous amount of money on a 165l tank to house the terrors and eggs in for the meantime....
...the female is acting very lovingly towards her eggs, but has again become very aggressive towards the male (when in the community tank the male was defending the eggs too). Should I leave the male in with her or put him back in the community?
...also - stupid question I'm sure given that I've just bought a tank in which to keep the fry alive - what do I do with them?...Like I said, I haven't thought it through.
