male l333 rage!!!

Post by trc007 »

i have a breeding pair of l333 (havent bred for me yet but fingers crossed) i recently placed a few moss balls in the tank which my male took a disliking to! he went mad and actually shreded one into pieces!!! hes been more active than usual aswell and has started to take out his agression on the female occasionally. ive noticed the female is eating alot more lately aswell. are they getting ready for a spawn???

Sounds like you're on the right track for breeding.

It doesn't sound bad (unless you are a moss ball!) :lol:

Face it your L333 male is a dag(aussie slang) mine don't seem to get agro at all they just spawn with a good water change. That having been said they could easily be getting ready to spawn so good luck on that front. Just have a laugh at the male when you throw in another moss ball but i warn you don't put in one that is too well established as they can get tangled up(almost sounds like he's trying to impress the female by acting tough)!
