Hey Everyone,
Newbie here (to this forum at least). I am in search for some help and I have asked on other general fish forums but I figured here might be a better place to look.
Tank Specs:
20 Gallon High
Mildly/Heavily Planted with 3 pieces of driftwood and 2 coconut huts
pH: 6.4
Temp: 82
Fish: 3 Neon Tetras, 3 Five Banded Barbs, 1 Female Wild Ram
Ok so, I have a pair of double reds 1 male and 1 female. I have had them for about a month now. The female is a little larger than the male and she seems to push him around a lot. If she spots him in the tank she will dart at him and continue on her way. The male rarely asserts himself in the tank. The female is displaying SOME yellow and has been for about 3 weeks. By some I mean the inner fringes of her fins and a little yellow tint to her body. I also feed them frozen foods about every three days.
So my question is: Is there anything I can do better to provide a mating environment? Is my female too dominant and unaccepting of the male? Anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
