Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / January 2004

I have a community (5g) tank with guppies, female bettas.  I keep my
male bettas separate.  I've been trying to breed them and I put a male
betta in the tank.

Now I never thought this would happen, but the females started to bite
on his fins and the guppies too.  

I took him out immediately and added melafix to his bowl.

I tried it then with another male and they also tried attacking him.

This is weird.  I thought the males are suppose to be the aggressive
ones.

Any input, comments, suggestions on this would be great!

Thanks!
