The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

If you only have one male, a second one could help give the females a bit of a break. However, he's not doing in damage, right? I've never seen them actually hurt each other. Apparently, being a male cherry barb means you need to chase the females and other males around a bit. Eric
