i have 1 male pearl gourami and 2 females in my tank the male had been gettin very aggressive so i seperated him moved around a few plants etc then after about 3 days in solitary i returned him to the tan to see if there was any change. immediately he and 1 of the females began to behave oddly...... they are staying side by side twisting aroiund each other almost pecking at each other then they really started grabbing at each other and had hold of each other as they sank to the bottom of the tank where they rubbing up against each other and biting though im sure i saw scales fly neither appear to be hurt.... are they fighting or getting frisky what shgould i do??

Do you have a bubble nest in your tank? It sounds like mating behaviour.......

it turns out they were mating but my male cant build his bubble nest due to too much movement on the water surface so doent look like there will be any fry

that's a pity! Can you do something about the current? Or you prefer not to have any fry?
