So I have 3 GBRs in a 30 gal tall tank. I'm positive that one is a male and I think/ hope that the other 2 are females. I've attached some pictures, one is a male and I think female together, one is of what I believe to be the two females, one is of the fish that I'm most unsure about and the last is of my tank. I've been doing a lot of research and heard that sometimes it's best to keep 2 females to each male so that one female wont take all the bullying. I've had GBRs before and found them pretty hard to keep, so I really want to do everything right with these. They share the tank with several neon tetras, a couple of angel fish, a couple of gourami, several cories and a pleco. All the plants are live plants and they have a lot of vegetation and hiding places.
I had the male already from last week, and I bought the two females yesterday. I was really trying to buy healthy looking fish from my LFS, and I felt like I had succeeded. However, I noticed that when I put all the rams together, the females?? lost most of their color and the male would chase them relentlessly. Now he seems to have slowed down and one of the females seems to have gained most of the color back, but the other one still seems really dull and hangs out by itself. I really don't want any of them to die, is it possible the fish I'm unsure about is a male?? Any advice or info is appreciated.... Thanks in advance ?
