sortail problem

elvis332 · 07-09-2008, 04:23 PM

most people say u should put 2 female sordtail with one male to breed but can u put one female and one male to breed (and no there not my fish)

karazy · 07-09-2008, 04:25 PM

you can, its just not a good idea because the female will be harrased by the mails constant mating attempts,if there are 2 is more spread

elvis332 · 07-09-2008, 07:38 PM

but can it work with [u]only[u]1 male and 1 female sortail alone in one tank

No. Why do you even want to try it? Just do it right, already.
With no other fish in the tank, the fish will have absolutely nothing better to do all day than harass each other.

Just buy a female, she will already be pregnant. Don't get any males

Elvis, it is "swordtail" not "sortail."

And no, you should have more than one female to each male or the male will eventually kill the female.

can u put 2 females and 1 male sordtail with all your other fish will the females still be pregnat?

sneasle · 07-11-2008, 02:26 PM

Yes, you can put them in with other fish, depending on the other fish.

Will they breed? Maybe, maybe not. Would you do it in a room full of people :P ?
