Hello, I really don't know what do. I have 1 male gourami and 2 females. The male has been super snappy and territorial towards everyone in tank. He was building bubble nest and chasing females constantly. And they are even missing scales and were visibly stressed. Everyone including me is lol.
I have moved the male to his own tank today. He is super unhappy about being alone. At the same time I noticed one female (smaller submissive one) is bloated in the front part. I am quiet sure she is having belly full of eggs. So I thought the male in new tank could be bit more insecure and I wanted to put the female to him at least over night or for 24h so she release the eggs. But s soon as I put her in there in plastic bag to acclimatize her, the male RIGHT away turned on his spawning mode, changed color and started to try to attract her.
It scared me because I didnt want him to get aggressive towards her in the small tank where she has nowhere to run. So I didnt even released her there, I put her back in the main tank. Can she drop the eggs by herself? Should I put him back to the main tank? Should I put her in his small (8 gallon) tank?
I cannot decide what is the right to do. I don't want to potentially cause her trouble with holding eggs, she is my favorite fish.
