in my 50 gallon tank i have 3 silver dollars 3 white clouds 2 angles 1 Corie's 1 emerald corey 1 neon tetra 5 green neons. now the silver dollars are about an inch in a half long but they r pigs they will eat anything but two of the white clouds r swimming together and have there fins out r they pairing up? and also if they r and they breed what should i do to prevent the eggs and/or the babies from being eaten?
 
Whoa, this is certainly a tricky situation for you! First, I would go to Google and search White Clouds Breeding Symptoms or something to see if what you are observing, is actually them breeding. When you see the Female get large with her babies, get a space divider for your tank and put her in that side by herself. That way, when the babies are born, you can remove her and put her in the other side and they won't be eaten. Also check out other ways on Google that might help you to care for the little ones if that is the case. Hope this helps. If the Female IS pregnant, congratulations! You are taking wonderful care of your fish, my friend!
 
you should remove them to a tank with the same conditions, or even better, you should put the adults into a separate tank for spawning, then remove the parents from that tank and raise the fry in that separate tank.

Also, you should get at least 5 more tetras because they are schooling fish and need other tetras to thrive.
 
just make sure there is no fin nipping if there is remove the culprit permantely to another tank.
