Rainbows dilema

[kennedpa]

Must be silly season for Rainbows.... I have 3 male Salmon red, 2 male Boesies and 1 femal. I male Boisie Karked while they were feeding. Now one of the Reds are acting strange, hanging around the top were he is usually swimming around with the others playing tag. Now he is hiding amongst the plants out of sight. Other than that his eating...All other Rainbows seems fine :help:

PH, NITRATES etc all ok, temp ok/normal.

Males vie for territory, and the third who is hiding is the odd man out. If you'd bought at least six females, the males would be displaying for the girls, instead of pushing each other around.

Done...so far so good... the Red that had his tail shredded is out and about and all the reds and Bosies are schooling around happily thumbs2:

Also the shop advised me not to buy their Bosies as they are not well...so I have a credit with them now as I told em one of the two I bought 4 days ago karked it...so all good
