What The?

[PlatinumAngel]

So every night when I turn off the lights, my Angels have a stand off. Their top fins stand straight up, they streach out their little whispy thingies (sorry for my non technical terms lol) at the bottom and their tails flex and they dart at each other.
They only do this when the lights go out. What the heck are they doing?

my only guess is a dominance issue

Just find it funny as most of the time they get along just fine. It's like 'hey, what did you do?' lol

hehe yes my angels have done this in the past, my oscars sometimes does this, i wouldnt worry, as stated its a domm issue and they litterally have to o through this as its par of the course,,,

as long as the other 99% they get along and theres no blood shed or ripped fins, should be fine,

do you also find out when lights out they swim round at a odd angle

Wasn't so much worried as amused lol.

Sometimes... kinda wonky, like they're drunk. lol They sometimes bicker with the lights on, but there's been no injuries and I've had them for a year and a half.. I think...

Nothing to worry about. One of my first pairs would do this every time I turned on the lights in the morning, chase, lip lock, the whole deal. After about 5 minutes they would calm down especially since breakfast was on the way.
