Our zebra did this the other day, then knocked the crud out of each other, one flopped on it side, other went to it, did what they do,,,,no fry though I don't think. Might have been practicing

got problems now .. I know you all told me so.. Seems big male auratus is terrorizing already.. I have found my previous bully ( my big socolofi ) and my male rusty both hiding . Could it be just that they ( the Auratus' ) are ready to mate thats making the male auratus sooo mean .. or just par for the course .. Should i remove the guys that are scared ????

the mean one i have,,,i put in a tank by herself, bagging her up and shes going back to the lfs today. easier toget rid of her than to have the tank in a constant battle...thats just me.

par for the course but intensifies by 5 when breeding , i'd be finding another tank and soon before your pulling dead fish out

i'm looking real hard for another aquarium at the moment ... My socolofi has been the bully his whole life .. It hurts me to see him this way ..
