leross04 28 Posted November 27, 2012 So I moved around the fish a bit; Dyson the big orange and white ranchu that was with Pendleton, I moved her to the big tank with the other big fish and put the new girl in with Pendleton and Rufus since her prazi pro is over but she's definatly a girl and they're definatly boys, it's non stop they won't leave her alone and shes looking stressed what is the best thing to do? here's a video. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted November 27, 2012 I can't access the video on my phone for some reason, but if the chasing is too much, you can float her in a colander in the tank so she can get some much needed alone time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leross04 28 Posted November 27, 2012 I need to do this! also would getting another girl would that take the pressure off her, and the other girl? because there's two boys and one girl right now 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted November 27, 2012 If the other female is also spawning, then it might help. Otherwise, they would just ignore her. I would just give her intermittent breaks in the colander, and let them finish the process. It should be long if they are already relentless chasing her. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leross04 28 Posted November 27, 2012 this is going to sound stupid, but how do I separate her with the colander does it float? or do I put it at the bottom of the tank? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4prettyfish 2,702 Posted November 27, 2012 Oh the poor girl. Hope she is getting rest now that you put her in a colander. Your tank looks beautiful. Are those real plants? Very pretty. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! and no, they ate all of the plants lol. So will they eventually leave her alone? Whoops didn't mean to quote that last part, sorry! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted November 27, 2012 They will, but you should let her out most of the day so they can chase her and get her to release the eggs. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantailfan1 26,742 Posted November 27, 2012 Your tank and fish are beautiful! I can see why they chase her. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
