I have a question if any one can help!!🙏

Regardless of what "color" it is they will fight.

Breeding doesn't just happen.

They have to settle their differences, one will retreat after hierarchy is established

+1 This goes for a lot of fish.

Hmmm.. Even if its a female?? That's cool I guess. Females rule! Lol just kidding. That's sad though. I think I heard something that the females will always be somewhat larger? Correct me if I'm wrong. I think the females at Mac growth so I'm wondering how big my male will get. If y'all have Instagram I just put a pic of my bristlenose male he got pushed out so I got a good pic. @shushhhhuuuu

My male is bigger then all my females. they are all about the same age give or take a few weeks. But have a new group growing out too...

So you have albino bristlenoses as well? How big are they. Have you experienced the same thing?

I want to try and get some more to distract the attention off him

[eklikewhoa]

more females would help spread the aggression but you will still witness the same problem.

It's a natural thing. embrace it.

I had two giants that did the same but after a few weeks they were inseparable

Haha love hate relationships. I guess it's normal. I'll just see what happens. image.jpg He came out of hiding. I got him when he was probably a cm long. He's like one of my favorites in the tank. Here he is, I got this pic off my phone but still pretty clear. New hiding spot for now.. ��

the will be fine i kept 3 breeding males with 2 females in a 20l and they bred all the time. Like said before once they have established hierarchy they should be ok

My male is about 6" . The females one is 4" the othe 5". They use to fight but never do now.
