typical amphilophus behavior set aside the different levels of
aggression. i had a wild caught male from costa rica i self imported
and he was a hyper aggressive absolute crazy nut... attacked anything
and everything from equipment's inside the tank like heaters, drain/return
pipes, magfloats, thermometer and etc etc to my fingers, hands, arm
while i do maintenance on the tank or during feeding he'd even jump to bite me.
also super aggressive glass banging trying to attack anyone or anything he
sees whether its people or animal or just tools like a siphon to clean the
tank. but he had absolutely beautiful coloration. he had a nice crimson red
full dress (head, body, fin, tail & eyes) with yellow/gold bars symmetrically on
both sides with long tail streamers. unfortunately he died cause he busted
through the glass lids and jumped out the tank or i assume so b/c the day he
died i came home to find him on the floor with glass from the lid inside the
tank and floor and him a few feet away.
