went to my lfs on wednesday only to see a realy realy fat male black molly. i think he had that dissease where he has ate too much i cant think of the name and can not be bothered stressing over it.
anyway i brought him home and housed him in my small 7gal tank with my male fighter fish. he thinks hes a female.
yes ive just said it my male siamease fighterfish goliath thinks that bob the bloated black MALE molly is a female.
i recently tried breeding fighterfish a few weeks ago which was partly a succesion. but all goliath seems to be interested in is impressing bob by flaring his gills at him and chasing him around the tank trying to squeese eggs out of him haha he has even began a bubble nest.
godddd fish keeping can be strange at times.
if anyone has anyother wierd storys or mirrical storys about their fish then post them.
hope you liked it lol

he might be flaring out of aggression not because he wants to breed, theres a new fish in HIS space and he may want it out

no hes not all he is doing is flaring at him and running him varound the tank believe me i have seen aggression and this is not agression

It wouldn't surprise me if your Betta thought the molly was a female, they can look similar. But you might want to keep an eye on the two of them, because in Betta spawning there can be a bit of aggression, and the males can become quickly exhausted.
