Poor guy, it's the Shoo Dance--not to be confused with the Mexican Hat Dance. Great Photo, good choice of gravel. Handsome guy, better looking than Casper the Ghost, tho I can definitely see the resemblance--perfect name. But maybe not as much a personality match with Casper the Friendly Ghost? But you got good looks anyway, and that's what really matters. Heh heh.Casper got his name due to being so ghostly white. View attachment 1346037
And no not mad at them or anything like that. They are only doing what a proper parent should, protect its offspring. Tho it does make gravel vacing twice as long, shooing the attacking fish away while doing it.

Yes he was mostly named for his looks. Tho he has always been friendly to me. Greetings me at the front glass when ever I was close to the tank. He would follow my hands around when cleaning. Now that he has babies tho all bets are off.Poor guy, it's the Shoo Dance--not to be confused with the Mexican Hat Dance. Great Photo, good choice of gravel.

Yes that's the way my Electric yellow Lab is. Plays gentle tag with my finger. Wonder if he remembers I took away from battering tank mate.

Actually at the moment I have a mess of babies/prego moms. My Devil's have a group of swimmers. My Honduran Red Points have a batch of wigglers. I have three prego Swordtails and a Platty that keep poping out fry left and right. I must be doing something right......lolVery nice you have babies. You must a pleased and proud Daddy.

That's right Big Daddy. Prego-- ha, ha, ha. Bet you don't call any pregnant ladies that. Oh, ah that's Italian for you're welcome...yah. Platies are pretty fertile and fun. I have a red wag that is pregnant, like a boat.Actually at the moment I have a mess of babies/prego moms. My Devil's have a group of swimmers. My Honduran Red Points have a batch of wigglers.
