That's what I have been doing. This is their 3rd time being together with about a week break between. He just started right in from the get go. This is about 34 seconds after him going into the tank, which is about how long it took me to grab a camera and start recording. Funny thing is, this time he has calmed down much more than previous times after being in the tank with her for a day so maybe I can actually keep them together someday in the future...
@@mbroome oh, ok.. I knew they are a High-Energy fish so then probably they have got only one gear so to speak.. My friend kept several Aphanius and those were similar..He kept a pair sometimes, then in a tank almost full of Moss , or at least 75% full of it.. (he did weekly waterchanges, we have soft water here btw, pH 8.3, kH 4 ) Perhaps the only way is to get some more of them.. like 10-15 or so, but for such rare fish, that is often not possible.. and it may not help anyway???
Hope you get lots of fry! Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps let the female be in there for herself a few days before putting in the male, if possible ?? Awesome fish , Thanks for sharing :D :D
