The Big Figfetti
Fish Fanatic
Hi!
Iāve got some peacock gudgeons from my LFS that had the same group for about 3 weeks prior. (Possibly longer). I have 2 males and 4 females.
On day 2, I was watching weird behavior that I thought might be stress. But by day 3, I realized that it could have been territorial behavior between the males.
Itās now day 6 and Iāve noticed that one of the females is being chased. But sheās also flaring her fins at the male. They go to a cave or other small space. And if he leaves, to make another fish go away, she pops out and flares at him and itās almost as if sheās leading him back.
I know the males lead the females but I didnāt know to expect that behavior from the female.
Is that normal?
Lots of flared fins and wiggling!
Itās been very fun to watch them in this behavior. And watch them in general. Theyāre quite entertaining.
