    Good. That way the male will have two females to harass and not always be picking on the one.

    Better separate them then. More then likely the females are already pregnant though.

    30-40 fry per female... You'll have a lot to give away, every month.

    I thought that too then looked back at your pictures. It's your decoration in the tank, it has a starfish on it.

    I like your humor noshowdiscus, I have a question are these fish naturally occurring, or have they been dyed?

    They're probably pregnant, as most live bearers are when you purchase them.
