My Red Fin Kandango are holding.. already

[Red Devil]

I have a "short-body" male that really beats up the female after they breed I have had to take him out the past two times they have bred because I was worried about the female spitting. Last time I put them together they had been away from each other for about two months and they were breeding in less than five minutes after I had put them back in the same tank. So I think you mad the right choice in separating them, I hope all goes well.

thanks... i definitly made the right choice moving him.. he never really did anything to them but chase... i actually still have one concern... theres number three female in with the two holding females... number three females occasionally chases the holding female.. should she come out to? I am also worried about her eating their fry.. she could not get bred for some reason.. and acts jealous that they are holding... i know it sounds silly but this is what i have observed... she could be a hazard.... but then theres also risk of catching her and upsetting the others in the process... what to do what to do...By the way how did those babies turn out??

There just over a 1" right now and I am hoping I get some short-bodies, I have heard you don't notice it til there a little bigger.

I don't know, really didn't keep track, maybe a month. It seem really fast, it was a big female which produced large eggs so it really gave them a jump start.

wow 50 + fry thats great!! I wish mine would spawn, the male is trying so hard to no avail yet.... I am thinking of putting them in a 30 gal by themselves to get them to mabye that would work...
