Rainbowfish aggression

[AnotherHumanPerson]

So today I was watching my gertudae rainbowfish, and two males started flashing at eachother. When I looked at one of them, his fins looked like they were nipped, and surely enough, the more dominant one started nipping at the previously nipped one. Other than more line of sight breaks (I have some plants reverse resperating), is there anything I can do to reduce aggression? I currently don’t have anything to separate them, but I might swing by petco after my shift to get a breeder box if need be.

How large is your group? Might need to add a few more. Distribute that aggression.

I currently have 6, 3 male 3 female. They are currently in my 29g with a guppy trio and a few amano shrimp.

If I had this set up, I’d look to add three more females.

Sounds good 👍
