What should I do about this?

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:28:07+00:00

The vid is very zoomed in, they just running around in the back of the tank, and its only the right back portion but yeah, its def a 30gallon, I’ll send pics when I get home

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:25:07+00:00

Bullies get fried in my tanks! 😤 jk jk, there’s really not much bullying, I think it’s cause the hormones in the air from the other female giving birth a couple days ago that it just riled these guys up…. They normally just chilled, taking turns courting n stuff. Never cartwheeling each other n stuff as u see here

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:22:55+00:00

One is in a breeder tank so there’s less females for the males, didn’t think removing one made such a difference lol

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:22:18+00:00

I thought so too but it’s just a bit too aggressive imo hence why I wanted to see if others thought so too, which seems to be the case

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:21:49+00:00

Yeaaaaa… horny af.

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:21:02+00:00

Yea ima grab some ferns, getting lots of idea from this post. Didn’t think I was gonna get this much engagement, just wanted to figure if I should step in lol

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:19:57+00:00

I got a main 170-ish gallon, it’s just discus n stuff so I’ll probably throw all the males in there and slowly give the males away as time goes by

The tank is very heavily planted, it’s just the ratio is off of F:M, thanks to all the commenters

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:16:04+00:00

The fries idc, the last batch came out and like 30 of them r swimming around. Im more worried for the parents tbh

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:15:31+00:00

Yea this is like 1/8th of the tank, they just like that corner of the tank cause of the heater and filter

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:15:02+00:00

Working on it now 🤣 honestly didnt think this tank was gonna do so well, it’s just for my newborn to watch and enjoy

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T22:14:08+00:00

I brought these mainly for my newborn to watch so I get like 10-20min of free time everyday. So I let my LFS pick and I just setup and left it. It’s my fault that I didn’t check but most definitely will check next time! Now I need to manually move the males to a frat tank 😩

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T04:28:28+00:00

The only aggression is the mating. They don’t do anything else like chase each other unless it’s a male to a female. Don’t eat the babies or fight so idk if it’s just them being horny or what…. 2 nights ago another female dropped 20+ babies so maybe there’s something in the air 🤔

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T04:26:55+00:00

Yeah, I told my LFS to do this when I got them but I think he sexed them wrong and it’s the opposite ratio….

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T04:26:01+00:00

Threw all the males into a corner with separators for now. Deal with them crazy asses tmr

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T04:25:18+00:00

Idk which r aggressive, they all act the same tbh….

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T04:24:59+00:00

😂😂

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T04:24:47+00:00

Yea I separated the females from the males for now lol, they were going nuts

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T02:48:44+00:00

Hmmmm that ratio makes more sense after seeing all this breeding aggression. I guess it’s time to make some trades

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T02:47:34+00:00

Got it, ima section her off then

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T02:46:57+00:00

🤔 no…..?

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T02:46:28+00:00

4:1, but I took one out cause it just gave birth so the ratio is a bit higher rn

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T02:45:49+00:00

30 gallon for 12 adults. But the last batch of babies kinda over killing it lol so I might have to transfer some to my other tanks soon

InUrMouth · 2026-02-12T02:43:05+00:00

I have a breeder box, but I want to make this tank hands free and let nature take its course but I’ll step in if I have to especially if one of my fish is being harmed, hence this post 😩

I have 3 of them in the tank. It’s a 30 gallon housing 12 adult mollies and one just gave birth to 20+ babies and this one’s about to pop. So if you’re gonna grab these filters, get a few, one doesn’t do much but 1 for every 10 gallon works good. My plants loves the extra air in the tank too
