pairing

[fishkid26]

I have a tank with two males and a female. The two males have territory on opposite ends of the tank. The female will hang out with both males at different times but will start fighting with them after some time. If I remove one of the males will the female pair up with hte remaining male? or should I wait to see if she pairs with one while both males are in the tank? Is there anything i can do to encourage them to breed?

Remove 1 male. after some time they will breed.

Are you certain of their sexes? Have you actually seen them lay or fertilize eggs?

The female Ihave have seen lay eggs but she paired up with another female so i moved her. One of the males i bought as a proven male and the other fish i am not sure about but it has a long streamer from its fins so i think it is a male.
