I have some odd goings on in my tank. My two servs used to occupy either end of the tank never really bothering with each other at all. I added a new tree root ornament at one end of the tank which the Ellioti immediately too over and another small bit of bogwood for serv (timmy) to hide. Since I have done this timmy (its easier to use their names lol) now does not bother with "his corner" and has gone into tony's territory. They have not been fighting as such just very gracefully swimming in circles starting at the bottom of the tank till they reach the surface then tony with start shaking and timmy will follow him round and round, timmy does occasionally nip at tony's tail but he is not doing any damage. They are both attacking the large peice of bogwood in one spot, biting at it This is the origional peice of bogwood not the new bit. Now the most worrying bit is they are both ganging up on the rest of the fish, they have corraled (with the help of the shark) the 4 texas in to one large plant, the firemouth hides in another plant and the two ellioti stay put in their tree root ornament apart from the male who will occasionally charge out, but both servs tackle him??? They dont actually fight just a lot of displaying (the ellioti is just bigger than the servs) They will chase the shark away from the bit of bogwood they are biting. They are working together to make one end of the tank theirs, I have never seen them do this before?, should I take out the new bit of bogwood?
 
Yeah you moved stuff around added NEW territory so the fish are moving around and trying to figure out what area they want now that things are different.
 
Thanks snowflake!
