Ever had your male beat on your female? I know I have, and Ive came up with a solution that has worked twice now. To me this almost definately proves the intelligence of fish. Basically, I have a convict pair that has been happily paired for about a month. At first I had to use my special "treatment" to get the male to cooperate as he was beating on my female.

Now today I changed substrate from gravel to sand and moved the tank. Upon doing so I put the pair back in the tank and the male immediately started harrasing the female. So I took him out and began the treatment. Basically I net him out, and chuck him in my RD tank for half an hour.
:ROFL: You can flame me if you want.

So after about half an hour of being chased around by my RD I get the con back out and put him in with the female. As soon as I put him back there was zero violence and they dug a pit together. Now cmon, tell me that fish hasnt figured out that if he doesnt play nice my RD wont play nice :grinno:
 
weird ! but apparently it works. LOL
my male hasn't beat her up yet but I'll give it a try when he does.
 
Um....No. And guys I must say welcome to the major influx of all the middle eastern folks that have been joining lately!
 
I've heard about this before, and it works wonders. My male con is now beating my female up, 2nd time round. Not as bad as the first, but still nonetheless. I havent got any other aggressive fish to put him in with. Cant put a divider up, and cant place him in another tank.
 
Dam thats annoying mystix, maybe you should put him in the bath and you get in and harrass him :ROFL:
