I just noticed tonight that my 2 year old bichir is flying all around the tank with an enlarged anal fin making the cup with it trying to fertilize nothing, my 4 gourami are also trying to breed to no avail.. They are all baby making challenged. And it's driving me nuts I have no intention of trying to breed any of them. Also to my knowledge I have two male one Senegal one delhizi. Any idea how to make them stop trying to fertilize the world? Any help would be appreciated
