Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster
So i have a tank with three fundulus chrysotus ( bought from dustin here) two of wich are males , one being the Dominant and chasing other and the female. Would adding more females or perhaps male help spread aggresion. Tank's not heavily planted but im working on it ,there are plants as well as hideing places. Ooo he's not chasing any other fishes

More males may spread out the aggression on the one male on the other hand it may increase it. Either way more females would be good for the lone female. Also, I've occassionally had groups of chysotus were a large female ruled the tank. Generally small groups of mixed sexes work out well say 3 males and 3 females, floating vegetation helps as well even some floating driftwood. Tank size is a factor as well, extra depth not as important as surface area.
