Give me all the details on what you're doing. Haha

Smcoyle87 said:The female is in protection mode. I can't remember the size of your tank but if it's large enough the male will stay clear of the feisty mom! Eventually the mom will calm down and let the male start helping with raising the fry. Remind me of the size of your tank?
fishfanatic said:I just spotted the male. He looks awful! His back fin is almost completely gone. I can't really imagine anybody harming him in the tank he is in. There are neon tetras, rosy barbs, dwarf neon rainbows, haliquin rasboras, Kerry tetras, hatchet fish, upside down catfish, SAE, and a peacock eel.
He has more than enough hiding places. And he seems to be swimming just fine.
What can I do to help him? Put a divider in the 20 gallon tank to separate the male and female?
