Title kind of describes it.
Here's the situation; I have a 29 biocube that's being set up for small fish. I have two forktail blue eye rainbows in there. They were constantly bothering eachother, so I put one in a mesh hatchery until I can get a few more. I'm not sure if I have two males, two mean females, or a female and a horny male. Planning to get a few more females to fix the problem, hopefully.
A little while ago, I spotted a nice half-black guppy at a local Petco (a good one) and snatched him up. Ever since I put him in the tank, he's been chasing after the one rainbow who isn't separated. He's nudging at its belly and kind of pressing against it, attempting to mate as far as I can tell.
It's shaped kind of like a female guppy... Is the guppy boy just horny and confused? Is there any possibility that's a male rainbow it's after, or does this mean that the one in the tank is definitely a female?
And how can I make that horny guppy leave the rainbow alone? More rainbows to spread the attention? It's a pretty guppy, I'd like to keep it in there...
