    Mac male won't leave female(?) alone

    Hey guys, I bought the (supposed) pair of macs below a couple weeks ago, they're still in the quarantine tank, but the male (1) won't leave the female (2) alone. I'm even doubting if she is indeed a female, since it's my first pair of macs and, not being experienced enough with this species...

    "Guarding" fry from different species?

    Thanks for the reply! I'm positive, she completely ignored the eggs and has since been "protecting" those babies. She has had one batch survive like I said before, and she was really protective of them without having to resort to brute force on the male (can't say the same for the dithers). I'm...

    Distilled water

    Hey! Thanks for the reply. I've been checking the water consistently with the test strips qnd after all I had really hard water from the start. I was confused about it because I had done a liquid test and it said it was roughly 7.5, but this was indeed quite some time ago. From the tests, my...

    How to get him interested?

    Thanks for the reply Ade. I've cut on the ferts. Didn't dose them in the last water change, everything looks the same except for an anubias that isnt getting much light due to the breeding net (going to remove it asap). As for the cories, I'll be removing them from the tank like you both...

    How to get him interested?

    I bought those because of that. I've had this tank setup with plastic plants for a while and I didn't want to invest a lot of money now that I'm very close to go college, otherwise that orange substrate would have been gone by now too

    How to get him interested?

    I don't have a TDS pen otherwise I'd tell you how high it is. I've got cabomba and two anubias, planning to switch the two other plastic plants for some moss (inside the rock) and a java fern (at the back). I dont know much about plants yet and the person I bought the plants from told me to dose...

    How to get him interested?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply! I didn't take them out because the female didn't seem much upset by them (she would ignore them most of the time whilst she was guarding the cave). The water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 5-10 nitrates. I don't have a good pH test on me, but last time I measured...
