Hello!
I have some maturing panduro that are six months old. I started with, the LFS best guess at sexing, one male and four females. I shortly lost one, and after maturing I have been left with two pairs, not the harem I was hoping for (*sigh*).
The two females and my dominant male are showing breeding signs. My inferior male is doing okay but can get chased around a bit. I've read this species is very monogamous.
Fish are in a 55g bow front with plenty (I mean excessive) amounts of caves and split vision territory. Before the fish get too much older I'd like some advice for the longevity of my tank.
Do I bring my inferior male back and try to add 1-2 more younger females to the group? Will both pairs be okay together? I by no means have intentions of purposely breeding or keeping fry, just want nature to take its course and my fish to not get beat up. Any surviving fry, by some miracle, will be re homed (I'm not being irresponsible here)
Thank you for the advice in advance!!
