Aquarium Advice Freak
I realized that in my aquarium most of my fish are chasing each other and I'm not sure if its normal or I just have a bad choice of fish.
First of all I got a Dwarf Powder Blue Gourami (BLUE) a few months ago. He was chasing around my Swordtail (ATHOS) and my Balloon Ram (Adolph). After a while I went to my lfs and got what I thought a female Flame Dwarf Gourami (RED) to keep BLUE busy from chasing my fish. A few days later I saw RED building bubble nest and after posting pics here I found out that most lfs don't keep females and I got a second male :-( Along with RED I also got a Electric Blue Ram (ELECTRA).
Now it seems like BLUE and RED are fighting each other. Not only that but they are chasing around my other fish too. Never the less ELECTRA started chasing ADOLPH but sometimes he gets annoyed by her chasing and they end up sparring. Also ATHOS while being chased by Dwarfs gets also annoyed and ends up fighting them.
The fights and sparring are not "to the death" luckily, because most that happens in the end is very little fin nipping if anything (no major wounds whatsoever).
I was thinking to get females for my DGs but I don't wanna end up with more males ... I don't know what to do ...
Please let me know what should I do because I got a riot in my fishtank :-/
