well i have a roughyl 6 inch male sat in a plantpot beating up a senegal bichir, giraffe catfish and a 10inch oscar.

didnt even think i had a pair..
tank is a 55gal, so really its too small for whats in it i know! im currently trying to source bits for a 180 US gal tank for the living room so they can all be large and violent in a luxurious space.

but anyway what should i do for the mean time? the male isnt really doing any damage jusr waring them off, and none of them seem particularly interested in the eggs as of yet.

picking up a breeding net today for when they hopefully hatch, and i guess some kind of divider should be used to keep unwanted fish away? i was thinking a fine mesh of some sort to seperate the eggs off.. but will the male want to keep protecting them?

sorry too many questions! first time anything of mine has bred!

so i got a male sat in a large plantpot protecting his eggs. what should i do?

currently dont have access to any tanks where he or other fish could go, but with luck i maybe be able to find a 180gal and start moving the other fish over leaving the GT pair in the 55 for now...

cheers!
