Goldfish Issues

HI guys. I have 3 oranda in my 50 gallon tank. I originally thought I had 2 female and 1 male, until now. Now it seems I have 2 male and only 1 female. The 2 chase my female and ram their faces into her while trying to nip her butt for about 3 hours every morning without giving her a break. Any suggestions on what to do? I don't have room for another tank, so I can't separate that way

Tank;
Size - 50gallons
Substrate - sand
Plants - amazon sword, jungle val, anubias, moss balls
Filter - hob & large sponge filter
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10
Stock -
3 oranda
1 bn pleco

 

If she's becoming too stressed from over-breeding, it may seem fit to rehome one of the males. I hate to suggest that, but if you not able to separate with another tank, I would think that would be the next step.

 

Maybe move the males out or at least one of them if you can as it will make the fish a little less stressed.

Unfortunately, re-homing may have to be an option due to the fact that the fish is becoming over stressed.

Hope this helps!

 

egg crate them


divide the tank and keep them separate.

 

Sometimes removing plants and playing around with photoperiod can prevent them from getting in breeding mode. Putting in a plastic grid divider could help in meantime
