Rainbow Behaviour

[andyw823]

I have a variety of Rainbows in my setup, 2 of my Parkinson`s are upto something, now im thinking their male, both are dark in body but one has bright orange markins where as the other as yellow (its not a Bosemani) There constantly upto something, the only way i can describe it is tat their sort of showing off but their eyes are almost touching each others while hanging near the bottom of the tank.

They are displaying to each other to attract the females, do you have females, of any rainbow species in there?

Its normal behaviour, my males do it all the time, they kinda rub up and down each other and shimmy also.

if you post a pic of the fish we can tell you what they are, ie: if they are both parkinsonis.

Sorry for the delay but taking photos just doesn`t work, instead i have a video clip, its short but the 2 fish in question soon stand out, their both male parkinson( i believe) and i have 3 in total which are all males. I also have 3 male bosemani, 3 red iran and 4 dwarf. The 2 parkinson in question display this behavour most of the day and can some times look tired.
