Hey guys, kinda nervous about my jack.
He's 3" and i have him in a 120 with an 8" oscar and 3" cuban.

The EBJD is now hiding in a corner he's been very protective over, and when ever the cuban comes near hes been tailwhipping and dancing with it, flaring gils. He's kinda slow to move from his corner too when i put my hand in.

He looks healthy to the eye. Do you think he's sick, could he be getting ready to breed with the cuban? idkkkk:screwy:
 
Just a guess, but if he appears healthy otherwise, he probably just claimed his spot. My jack tail flips and flares his gills when any other cichlid comes near his cave. Just make sure he's eating...

Could be mating behavior as well
