If you're a cory and you know it clap your.. hands
I went to my LFS today and liked the look of some DNRs (Melanotaenia praecox) for my 50L tank.
They are about 2cm long right now.
I purchased 3 for £8 and asked the man for 2 females and 1 male but when I got home I noticed that I have infact been given 1 female and 2 males.
They were alright at first (cowering beneath the plants as new fish do) but now they're more settled the two males have been engaged in (as of yet) a three-hour-tussle over the lone female and as I look to my right at the tank I can see them writhing and flaring even now.
I have a 180L tank with 3 gold severums, 2 silver dollars, 2 silver tetras, 1 zebra angelfish and 1 B.R.T. Shark, do you think I should move one male into this tank and later in the week go to the same shop and select 3 females to even it out (2:4 male to female)?
Tankmates in the 50L are 4 cardinal tetras and 5 endler's livebearers.
Help and advice would be very much appreciated!
Thanks.
