Hi Again! I made a post a few months back about my Molly fries disappearing.
Now that that problem is solved I now have a new problem months later.
I have 5 Molly fry (2 Male, 3 Female) in a vertical 15 gallon tank. (I just realized a month ago that I had 2 males after thinking they were all females Ha.
)
They are all now 7 months old and I believe the males are now starting to mate??
I was under the assumption that males don't normally mate until about a year of growth?
This morning I noticed 1 of my males fighting the other male over trying to mate. I noticed that he was successful with 2 females but now he is continuously trying with no end. What should I do? I don't think a 15 gal would be large enough to hold more babies!
