[T-TIME]

nah leave it there for a bit longer if they want spac e theyll let you know. in the past my firemouths didnt mind another one in the tank, just so long as they had enough space. I certainly wouldnt take it out just yet  peter

Is there any sign of aggression, if so take the third fish out. Normally they will become aggressive towards other fish when they are ready to breed & when this happens, I would always give them a tank to themselves. This is to get maximum amount of babies, if thats what you want. In the past the third fish either gets beaten to death(or nearly) or eats the eggs or babies!!! Its all about territory...

well yeah there are signs of aggression e.g. head raming they basicly gang up on it ,
(the pair has already killed the 3rd ones mate)

also if u got some breeding tip i would love to hear them ;

cheers peter and Jimmy
