Tropical Fish

My fish has had babies and the mother is being protective. The mum and dad keep fighting. How can i stop them?

[Elfin]

I'd separate the father from the mum and babies. If you don't have another tank, you could try a glass divider. It's been ages since I kept fish, but I vaguely remember having to do this before.

I agree, the reason being that the dad may be feeling hungry.

You can buy nursery nets at most aquatic centres. Its a box shaped net, that clips over the rim of the tank and sits in the water. Mum and babies can swim around in there safe from the other fish, without having to be removed from the tank.

Threaten to report the male to the child support agency. That'll shut him up.

Just separate the mom and dad since the dad is the only one attacking anything.
