Hi guys!
I bought a pair of apisto viejita's on the weekend. I'v noticed that they seem to be doing a lot of tail flicking at each other and also at my pair of gold rams. Is this a sign of aggression or are they trying to 'display'? They seemed a bit miffed at the rams, chasing them off and generally giving them a hard time. This is true for both the male and female apisto. I'm hoping that it's just a teething problem and everything will settle down eventually and they will pair up and chill out. It seems odd that the rams were there first but are the victims here. If it is a territorial thing then wouldn't the rams assert their authority since they were there first? I dunno.......

i'v got a 55L with 2 Rams, 2 apisto's, 3 pentazona barb, 4 neons and 2 shrimp. Don't think I can get much more in tbh. I'm having issues at the moment though... another saga! The lamp on the aquarium has blown so I have no lighting and the male ram had managed to rip half his tail off somehow 
I can't get a proper look at him coz its too damn dark. I'm contemplating setting up a hospital tank and putting the male and female ram in until he recovers but then I don't wanna disrupt their little pecking order they've established. These fish are putting years on me lol!
