    Hi Everyone! My Dalmaton salifin Molly(male) has started doing something crazy :stupid:, he swims up and down fast against the glass of the tank, he does this for hours, he even makes me tired just watching him.There's no female Mollies in the tank, water parameters are good, temp 26. Does anyone know why he's doing this?

    Ye! maybe but he still looks totally out of control though and as i said he does it for hours not just a few minutes. He would have calmed down after a shock wouldn't he?

There's two females in my quarantine tank just waiting to finish up with them then he'll get all the luck in the world. as you said lucky sod! And don't worry your secret is safe with me. hee! hee! hee! :)

    Coming back as a fishy would be cool, you could have as many females/males as you like and not worry about VD'S.

    My poor male guppy lost his mate a few weeks ago whilst trying to give birth. I replaced her for his delight... But guess what... he ain't even remotely interested in the new female. It's like he doesn't even know she's in the tank.

    But throw in 2 female swords... and now he's been trying to jump THEM for 2 weeks. I was sure he was going to tire himself out trying... but, to my surprise, he's still going at it.

    What would I get if I cross a guppy and a sword? (A Swuppy???)

    Geezz! If your guppy gets it right the babies would look very interesting! The sword tails remind me of Angelina Jolie and the guppies remind me of Woody Alan, what a combination!!! lol!!!
