Fish Herder
I had been looking for ages for a female, after losing the original one to dropsy. So I was so excited when I received a new one. When she was first introduced in to the aquarium, she was swimming and eating with the other fish, the male didn't pay her much attention. Then later on I noticed that he had started to chase her, only a couple of times but she outstripped him.
This morning however, I couldn't see her, he was patrolling his area of fauna. I found her up in the corner by the filter, her feelers looked crooked (they were both fine the night before) and there was a tear on her tail. I switched off the lights on the tank as normal. Have I done the wrong thing or will he calm down and accept her. I know he is the culprit because none of the other fish are aggresive. with worry.
