Ok so I found out that my evergladei are okefenokee, I had them all in a ten gallon and decided to tear down my 20 long and set it up for them. Right now I have 6 in there with 1 I am sure is a female and from what I understand from reading that is ok, correct?

I planted pretty heavy in the back corners moving front leaving the middle of the tank somewhat open for free space to swim as well as viewing and feeding. I recently noticed a male dancing in the 10 but have identified no females, however in the 20 I just noticed yesterday there is a male dancing all over the place. Now I also recently started running a diy CO2 in the 20, do you think the drop in Ph from the CO2 would spark this as I am sure that my tank has a higher Ph than where they were collected. I guess really I am wondering if the change in Ph could have this effect on them?

I doubt it. More likely is that you just provided him his own territory by moving fish around... he is staking his claim.

Ok thanks, again I have been watching them a lot and am trying to learn as much about them as possible so I do appreciate the feedback and welcome any others to provide their experiences with this fish as well. Any advice would be appreciated as well.
