Die Ornament
Die Ornament
My Swordtial is going to die from too much stress!?
I have had 3 Swordtails for a while now and i recently took an ornament out of their tank in which one of the females liked to hide in. I took it out because i want that natural look in my tank and also because i’m worried about the female not eating enough. I used to never see her eat. Anyway, Now that she has no place to hide in, she is constantly being annoyed by the male trying to mate with her. What makes it more frustrating is that the male won’t even go near the other female. The female swordtail has been pregnant once but i wasn’t home and was unable to put her an a breeder box. She ate all of the babies :S.
Any ideas on what i should do about the male constantly annoying her? i don’t really want to separate them.
I just phoned the store which i purchased them from, i’m going to get a some driftwood to place in the tank that she can hide in and around.
Place the ornament back in the tank. Don’t worry about female not eating. When they are hungry they will come to the surface to eat. You just probably haven’t seen it eat.
