Hello,
I have three male caudopunks and one female in a six foot community tank. The female paired up with the second in command male. When the female swims over to the top males territory, he displays to her vigorously and chases away all other fish, but she always returns to her chosen male. The top male is a lot bigger and an all around nicer specimen than the male the female is paired with.
Would there be a good chance of her pairing with the nicer male if I removed her selected mate? I think they spawned once( assuming by the way they were behaving near their cave), but nothing ever came out of it.
Is it too risky to play match maker?
