| Hi, my current temp in the tank is 25.C. I dropped it from 28C. The Dom Male BN isn't interested in breeding, just fighting with all the other BN'S. I have two logs in, should I put more logs in? And how many female to one male should I have? | |

| First things first.. What size tank? How many males do you have? and how many females? What are their approx sizes? Can you post a picture of the set up you have at the moment. Usually the males "fight/chase" the others away when they have claimed territory. If there are not enough hiding places they will keep chasing eachother. I suggest 2-3 caves/decent hiding places per male. I have 2 males 5 caves & 6pcs natural driftwood that also has hidey holes. I barely see them chasing eachother except at dinner time | |

| I would chuck in a few more caves, He is chasing the females away because he is getting ready to mate, give him a week & he will be inviting them in | |
