Hi everyone, new here. I’m having an hard time with agassizi females which keep killing males.
I’ve first introduced a male and a female, then a month later, 2 more females. Everything was good for another month. Then a start noticing a single female was keeping the male away but I didn’t take any action as the tank as plenty of hiding. Then one morning I found the male had jumped out of the tank.
Few days later, I bought another male.
The three females immedialty start beating him, but after a couple of days, the male find his spot and start interacting with the less agressive ones. This morning I found the male dead with some sign of beating on his body.
I would like to try again, but I’ve no idea on how to prevent this from happening again.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated!
here is my tank:
Water parameters:
KH 4 GH 8 PH 6.5
NO3 5 PO4 0.5
Conducibility 400mS
