So My pair mated they had eggs both watched over the eggs everything was just great in the Acara family. Then the fry hatched yesterday. Things were ok they both were watching over the tiny fry. But later on in the day I saw the parents lip lock and get into a bit of a fight. Today the male is pale and looks awful. He can not go any where near the nest because the mother will attach him. So now only the female is watching the eggs and the male swims around all freaked out.
Maybe the male wanted to spawn again and the female said HELL NO. Now they are not on good terms.
It was fun watching the 2 tend to the nest but now it's just sad. Like a broken home. where the mom has full custody and the father is a bum. The mother is really aggressive toward the male if he comes anywhere near the nest she goes after him.
The female is still showing her dark beautiful breeding color. The male is pale and sad looking. He does not even look like the same fish.
What happend to their happy family?
