    Hmm just strange I've never been able.tp find info on why a proven pair would eventually start fighting. 🤔 I'll keep trying. She absolutely loves him it seems no matter what until he starts beating on her. Soon as I put him back in the tank with her she swims right to him and starts her breeding dance lol but he doesn't stand for it for long.

    Still cannot get the male to stop beating the female into a corner of the tank and not sure what else to do. Have done water changes to possibly remove fish hormones. But have had to completely remove the male to another tank. I'm at a loss..

    Changed out the levamisole in my guppy breeding tank. Can't seem to get motivated to do much these days. 1000s in bills of things that you don't expect coming up taking away from my fish care hobby and stress through the roof of my head with everlasting headaches... ready to shut it down for awhile at this point..

    So they had a spawn again but he didn't seem to fertilize very well. She laid all over a crooked piece of spiderwood so assume it was hard for him to follow. Idk why she does this but there is a breeding cone in the tank and can't seem to find a breeding slate anywhere. The spawn failed as all the eggs got eaten. Now the male is picking her into a corner again. I'm lost as what to do really. And is kinda demoralizing. Can't seem to find info anywhere on why a proven pair seem to end up fighting.

    Have a feeling this guy or gal is def gonna get bigger then. I feed frozen bbs of my own as well as extreme krill flake and many many snails for it to eat lol

    No my father bought a used tank off a marketplace along with all of its livestock so that's why I couldn't really identify what type it is but think we got it figured it out that it's a yoyo loach. I have a very young yoyo and it's white and black not that creamy color and black. And is absolutely beautiful I think as well and thank you! 😊

    Is have to say Google is wrong on this. Everyone I talk to says they can get up to like 6 inches. He is already at 4in
  8. Ryan W8
    Ok won't do it again. But seem to have got them to start their spawning behavior again and thanks for the help Daniel 🙂

    Gotta be a yoyo. I can't find any other species that even resembles it. This guy is a massive one as they really typically reach only 2.5 to maybe 3 inches. This guy is almost the size of a full grown SAE.

    So it's a yoyo loach says Google? I have a young yoyo loach I just purchased for another tank and it's much more white and block with more pronounced y and o patterns. Do these morph as they get older?
  11. Ryan W8
    This is definitley the closest I've seen! It's pretty big being almost 4inches long. How big can they get?!
  12. Ryan W8
    Might it be a hybrid?
  13. Ryan W8
    Definitely not that. Hmm I'm lost. This came with a tank purchase someone was letting go of so I'm not the original purchaser and am lost 🙃
  14. Ryan W8
    Ok I'll look into that. Ya I didn't think so but just couldn't tell if I was seeing things or what lol thank you friend!
  15. Ryan W8
    I can't seem to identify this loach.. yoyo loach?

    Well he seems to have stopped after being warded off from her for 3 days. Still have no spawning though. Currently going through medications as I see white sticky stuff flowing off the fins of the veil angel. After that I will levamisole them. Maybe that will help them feel better to spawn. Have fed heavily to entice spawning. But have to be careful as there is no cleanup crew other than some snails. Edit: the male isn't eating as aggressive as he used to. Makes me think internal parasites.

    Same issue here. Think living in Atlanta we would have some pretty good locations.. but yet to find one. If anyone knows any in or around Atlanta. Shoot a pm if you could please!

    So I currently have the male in a Lee's specimen container with airstone floating in same tank as female.. the female seems to have spawning behavior but isn't cleaning a surface. Really don't want to mess up my pair but I may have to. Have a 55g with 4 angels and none have paired off.. wondering if I should switch angels.. idk
  19. Ryan W8
    Amazing! Thats so cool.. now if my angels would behave... ughhh
  20. Ryan W8
    Bump

    Maybe he is mad she hasn't spawned in months?

    Tank is running at about 80- 81f and previous spawns went well but they were in community tanks which ate the spawns. So I moved them to their own 29 and haven't spawned since. They are in their own tank with nothing but heater, breeder cone, and 2 sponge filters. 1 kind of ish line of sight break. Thanks for all the suggestions. Just never expected the "husband" to beat his "wife" but I guess that's me being a dumb human lol.

    So I have a breeding pair of angels. The female hasnt laid eggs in probably 2 months but had 2 spawns previously.. and now the male of the pair is actively becoming aggressive to the female.. Is this normal? Suggestions? If I remove one for one to heal is it going to ruin the breeding pair? Thanks in advance!

    Greeting from Atlanta, GA. Glad to have a safe place to discuss aquarium topics! Reddit can be pretty awful.
