On the weekend I rearranged my 30gal tank as I had to clean it out well anyway and I thought the fish might like a change in environment (if they really care)....sicne then, one of my male platies has tuned quite nasty in attacking the other adult male platy (there is also a platy "fry"...meaning...nearly adult size but not quite...in there).....he is leaving the "fry" and females and other fish alone.....for some reason he has taken to nipping at the fins of my red male platy, Akhtar....fortunately there is not a huge amount of damage and he is in the 10gal in salt at the moment to keep infections in check...now that he is out of "danger" he is starting to act normal again (he hadn't been eating when with the aggro one)
SO....I have 5 fry in a 6gal tank that I will soon be moving to the 10 gall..once the male platy looks normal again...once the 6gall is empty I will be putting my aggro male platy in there....it is a 6gal tank and I am sure he'd be OK on his own, but I was just thinking of putting some other fish in there...obviously I don't want platies in case he turns on them too...
The 6gal tank is an all in one tank which has quite a strong filter current so bettas are out of the question....the tank has been cycled for 3 months so can handle more than one fish.....
I am open to any new fish suggestions!!! (except guppies which I allready have in my 30gall)....
THANKS
