Ken, Bin der dan dat,unfortunately the only other tank I have available for the male is a heavy planted 75g.Did you ever try to get a borellii male out of a tank like that? Thanks for the advice,I keep my fingers crossed and watch what happens.Again, it is an experiment. I didn't know fish can read signs:).Do they sell those at the LFS right next to the treasure chest ornaments? No offense at all.
