Will adding females to an all male hap /peacock tank cause the males to color up better and faster? Does it matter if it is a female hap or peacock? The tank is a 5 foot tank with all texas holey rock Thanks in advance
I have females in my tank. It is an 8 foot tank though. I don't have any fighting over females. All the males get along.
So I guess the answer is "it depends".
I'm not sure if the females help the males color up or not, but to me, it's fun to watch the courting and spawning.
The tank is packed, so no fry survive. In fact, most of the eggs get eaten by other fish during spawning.
