Pretty sure my lyretail has some ich on her back fin, so I just started treating it :)
I’m pretty sure this lil lady may be giving birth soon, but just curious if you guys would advise separating her if the guy keeps banging her lol. I feel bad. Attached are screen shots from a video where he won’t leave the poor lady alone. I know I should have more gals, but they all died and I’m nervous to get more since the tank has been thriving for some time now. (Ignore the algae build up, I’ve been due to scrape) Also, I’m trying to keep an eye on when she may give birth because we have a YoYo in the tank and I’m sure he’ll just slurp up all the fry in two seconds.
Ideally I don’t want another tank tho. I did get one and now it’s just it’s own whole thing with shrimp and guppies and no longer a birthing/quarantine tank haha
I’m just hoping to have some babies survive. I do have a floating nursery thing but it’s not big enough for this molly. She’s massive.
Maybe the key is just keeping an eye out and trying to catch the fry if it happens… there’s lots of plants too.. but I’m more nervous of the yoyo.
