I have three shubunkins and I am worried. The two continuously chase the

is there anything that can be done. HELP
Normal, sounds like you have 1 girl and 2 boys, and the boys are trying to
get the girl to spawn/lay eggs and fertilize them. You might want to get a
couple more girls to give that 1 a rest... course in a few weeks your 3
will have made more if you have enough cover for the fry to grow up.
I find myself looking and watching for baby fish more than I do looking at
my adults. I've got these big beautiful fish that swim so gracefully and
here I am looking for these tiny gray babies, what's with that?! :-/ ~ jan
