Hi all
I have a Borellii male and three females. Two of them were caring for fry one after the other. No fry survive more than two weeks. It happens twice to the biggest female, and once to the second female. The third one is guarding eggs right now. I thought first that the biggest female was just a lousy mother, but now that the second mom lost her fry too, I am suspecting on the male who seems to start having feelings for any of the mothers when the fry is around that time. He starts courtship on moms which seem to be bothered by him. Suddenly they turn grey-yellow and no more fry is on sight by then. Should I take the male out when the females start guarding eggs back again? Is really him? Taking him out will not be easy…
