I live in a very small town so I have to order my fish online and the company I ordered from or any other company I found online do not sex firemouths prob cause very hard to tell them apart when real young. So i end up getting 4 males and just 1 female and i notice the males chase her around she even has some fin damage. Is there any chance they will breed?
