I would recommend moving the "weaker" male.

I recently bought a couple pairs of nice wild Apisto Reticulosa Belem from a LFS. They seem to be acclimated well to their new tank. I have noticed however that the dominant male seems to be keeping the other males in the top corner of the tank. He seems a little more tolerant of the 2 females, but the "less bold" male is definitely not his friend. Should I remove this weaker male? He seems healthy, but is definitely cowering. The tank is 10 gall and contains just some live plants, a sponge filter and an otto cat. thanks Bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
