My first attempt at breeding is proving somewhat stressful. My beautiful Giant male is the absolute master of the bubble nest and is normally very placid and gentle. Today I introduced him to a beautiful Giant female through a glass partition and I just don't think they are feeling the love... From the outset I will admit that I am a little over protective and perhaps I worry a little too much about the slightest upset with my fish, but I really don't want my fish to be stressed... Since I placed her into his tank they have been going at the glass like mortal enemies. Flaring and bobbing up and down, charging at each other. Her breeding tube is visible but she is not getting stripey. My question is, is this normal behavior?
I would never want to risk the health and safety of my fish and I am quite anxious about the possibility that this is stressing them out...
Can some experienced breeders please lend me some advice?
