Miranda Marie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hey! So I have a planted 20 long aquarium that I have stocked with Endler Guppies. I had gotten 5 originally and they got delayed in the mail so only 2 survived. I decided to let them settle in before trying again and then life happened and suddenly it was 4 months later. They settled in well enough that one decided the entire tank was His Space™ and began bullying the other. So I sat down and ordered 6 more to add in with them. After quarantining them to make sure everyone seemed healthy, today we added them in. Well, they have all been sparring ever since. LOL. I turned the light out to keep them calmer so they would settle better but they're still going at it. I guess my question is, is the sparring a bad thing and how long will it take to settle? Or is it dangerous if they do it continually? The group is now 8 with the two older ones. I assume this will settle down over time once they establish a higher archy but I am just checking. Thanks!

StephenP2003 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Is this all male endlers? If not, what's the m:f ratio? Go 1:2 and nature will handle the behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Marie Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 They're all males (I wasn't intending to breed them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
