Hi all,
I have a 10 gallon planted tank with about 9 male endlers and 1 male betta I got almost 2 months ago. I've had these endlers for quite some time with no problems but about 2 weeks ago I had to quarantine my betta because it got fin rot. I caught my biggest endler and one shrimp munching on the diseased fin edges, so O took him out to treat him. After a week I put the betta back once his fins were growing back, but then I caught that same male endler, and only that one, nipping at the betta's tail and constantly trying to mate with him.
I have the endler in a breeding box in the tank for now to give the betta a break, but I don't know how to make the endler stop nipping. He didn't do it until about 2 weeks ago and if possible I'd like to break his fin nipping habit. I don't know anybody who would take this fish and the closest fish store is like 18 miles away (I don't have a car and have some minor issues with mobility, thus I tend to buy my fish online).
Does any of you have any suggestions?
