I think my female Auratus is holding. I just noticed today while doing a water change. If she is should I move her a private tank? Also one of my two red jewels has turned Bright red and the other is still a redish tan. Is this a sign they are about to mate or just one is becoming dominant?

After further observation I think she is holding. I just did a water change today ~30-40%. My quarantine/ breed tank is dry do I am going to wait a few days then take some water from my main tank and use it to fill my other tank. Just got a new filter for it (hob) hopefully the tank water will get it going fast.Fishtafarian- Fish are more than just a hobby, they are an obsession.

I was thinking of taking some of the porcelain O-rings from my canister filter and dropping them into the back of the HOB filter to help the bioload. I will build a fish trap using a 2 litter bottle and hopefully catch her later this week.
What about the Jewel?Fishtafarian- Fish are more than just a hobby, they are an obsession.

just noticed today. but I have not been focusing on her. I did notice she came out like she wanted to feed still. i found this odd for a holding fish. The male has been very aggressive for the past few weeks. He is a real jerk, but has slacked off lately.Fishtafarian- Fish are more than just a hobby, they are an obsession.

I have never had a problem with fish breeding. sometimes I wish they would not as it creates a lot of extra work. I broke down and sold a tank a few months ago because the fish in it would not stop breeding. I removed fish till I did not have any matching pairs, and yet they just started hybridizing. These fish have only been in this tank for a few months, if that.Fishtafarian- Fish are more than just a hobby, they are an obsession.

Well, she is now in her own tank with a small rock cave for shelter. It was hard as heck to catch her, and I am just hoping I did not stress her too much.Fishtafarian- Fish are more than just a hobby, they are an obsession.

The Auratus is holding she is a mouth brooder. The Jewel is a egg layer, and will never hold eggs in her mouth.
