Hope you have a backup plan for the leftover female if a pair forms. You'll probably need it fast!

She'll get pastured in a spare tank for the time being, if needs be.... but to be honest I've had a big breeding male share between to two of them before.
The males grown a lot and is showing an interest in breeding with one or both girls.
Have a divider ready!!!!!! When they spawn they could be fine but the minute those fry get to free swimmers u might wanna separate him for his own good!

comment. Have had 3 spawns, and pretty consistently it seems like it's the female that loses her **** that then triggers the male to retaliate and all hell breaks lose and I have to separate.

I've had Festae now for years and spawnings with two females both spawning from one male. If they have cover and plenty of hiding places it works.
I'm not saying the harem is he problem. A female will go pyscho once fry get to swimmers, unless the male is big enough to keep her at bay....that's when problems arise.
