What Are My Red Devils Doing?

[simonjonkman]

theyre like rubbing against each other and stuff..help? oh and one has a bump on its head..im not sure if its hurt or not

How big or how old are they?

Could be breeding or territorial issue but depends on what one means by rubbing against each other. Is there a pit dug? The bump on the head might be the nuchal hump. Again, that could be there because of breeding or aggression.

You should PM a mod to move this into the SA/CA forum to get more help.

im not sure how old they are but theyre about 4-5 inches. and yes, they have dug PLENTY of holes.

 

[simonjonkman]

Good job on taking the other fish back to the lfs because if you didnt, they would of either killed it or seriously injured it to keep it away from their fry. O, ya they are def beginning their mating ritual. You should soon see eggs then little wigglers! Good Luck!
