Sage folk,
Is there a way to coax a male to make a nest?
I've got him in a 3gal low tray with floating plants, and periodically drain-add 50% water from the tank where the two girls are.
He'll do a half-assed nest, then give-up by lunchtime.
When I add a girl he gets beat-up; they're both bigger than him. He may need to mature/grow.
Fed on pellets, ostracods/scuds & mozzie larvae, and he nibbles on the duckweed. Girls get about the same.
