FH behavior...how to tell between breeding behavior and aggression

[mayahsun]

Hi, The first picture is my largest female fh at a whopping 4"

The second two are of my new male FH, he is about 2-2.5"

Last two pics are of my 3" Female FH (I love her pearls)

I have the male and the 3" female in a tank together. It was his tank, when I put her in, he just followed her around for the first day. Now on day two...she shakes at him and when he swims away she chases him. If he doesn't swim away she just keeps shaking.

The behavior seems like breeding behavior not aggression, but he at this time isnt interested...probably because he is so young and small.

Should I keep them together or put her back in her own tank?

Shakes, fanning, cleaning of rocks and digging yes sounds like your female likes him hahaha

Thats great for her, but he is now in the bush

Can two less than great FH's create an awesome FH?

I put in my request for an eye pleasing, perfect flowerline, pearly fry....lets hope they accommodate me

Yes it is possible percentage wise it is not to high but chances are you can at least get a few that look better than the parents good luck
