but I don't like to buy onether females...

and also I don't like to buy another tank...

is the other male agressive to them two? thats the main problem as well as stress to the females

 

[twilight_angel]

the other two are not agressive to other female...

both of them are always together as if friends...

the other one is too agressive and the females, i think are being disturb...

the problem is, i think the 2 male are out of place, i think, and the females are tired already...

It sounds very much like despite the problem, you do not want to change your current setup or ratios between male/female.....

Where Most people normally suggest at least two females for every male, I always recommend at least 3..... Males are extremely "active" when their hormones kick in and can be very exhausting in their chase if only one lady is around for chasing...

If however you do not want to remove some males or introduce more females, you'll have to compromise by supplying more hiding space for the females which is not always a solution, as you have the fish and would want to see them and not always in hiding.

Our National flower and protected by law..... We're not allowed to have it in the gardens and also not pick the flowers in the bush.... Heavy fines if you are caught.

Close..... "fynbos" it is called....

Getting back to Twilight here "on her thread"...... Angel..... If you can get hold of Cabomba, it'll be fine as a floating plant, and when you bush a bundle together, you can plant them as well...... I like the Eastern accent in your typing....

 

[twilight_angel]

thanks lol...

but i don't know what plants are you talking about...

and i don't like to take the risk of putting alive plants on my tank...

i think they will rot...

Twilight!....... Angel,........You sure are hard to please.....Then go to the lfs, and look around for bushy plastic plants, there is quite a variety available on the market... If you get enough of these, they will provide plenty hiding place and also make your tank look nice....
