cherry barb

[fish man2004]

hi everyone,
i recently bought 2 cherry barbs, 1 male and 1 female. The male has turned very bright red and i think him and the female are spawning. One problem, the male chases everything in the tank all day and i think he's stressing out the other fish. Anyone know how to stop him?

thanks

try adding a few more females. That should work.

best ratio: 1 male : 2-3 females or all females

Bring him back to the store... that's what I did. Seriously.

Or you can add a few more females.
