I would like to know if anyone could help with the behaviour of my female keyhole...She has got her "war colours" and is extremely aggressive towards the other fish in my tank. They have all been together for over a year so its not a case on incompatibility. At first i thought she was guarding eggs but she has been like this for about 10 days and i cant see any eggs. The only fish she allows into the area is one of the male keyholes. could this just be a territory thing or is she preparing to lay... Problem i have is i need to clean the tank but dont want to disturb her too much..
 
sounds like breeding behavior she may be chosen a spot to lay eggs with her mate.
