Hi all,
well it isn't that bad. But I bought a 10 gallon breeder tank and to cycle it I filled it with a male betta and a female betta. They began to fight a lot. well I'm not sure they're fighting, but the male will flare his gills and his fins and nudge her, then swim away and she just sits there and doesn't move.
Then about 5 min later she chases him around the tank 4 times or so and then stops and doesn't move again.
The Zebra Danios I bought (6) I thought would act as dither fish, keep them distracted, they haven't worked at all in the last 24 hours.
WHat shoudl I do, are they mating, fighting, do they just not get along let me know what to do. I thought that bettas were really hardy so I figured I'd use them instead of boring sebra Danios.
Please help me.
