Nippy Ram

[boxman]

Just got 2 rams (male and female) - i've noticed the female has a couple of nips in the tail.

I've seen the male chase the female around once in a while - should I be worried?

The nips aren't that bad but is this typical behaviour of rams?

Thanks
Pete

My rams are like that as well. My female's fins have a couple small nips out of them, from the male ram's courting behaviour. They've spawned a few times, so I know they don't hate each other entirely.. they are just slightly aggresive when courting.

Thanks Littlefishie! (Nice pic!)

Good to know my little male ram has plenty fishy testosterone!!!
