Frisky bichir?

[Guppy's_Hell]

Hey people, long time no post.

I introduced two baby bichirs (both between 2 and 3 inches long) to my new tank with my old bichir (now about 2 years old). One of the newbies is totaly ignored by the big but he wont loose sight of the other little one. He does the head nudging thing to it almost all the time and lays next to it "twitching"... The small one does not seem to mind at all, it evens iniciates it at times... I know my large bichir is a male, but im unsure about the smaller ones at 2-3 inhes long... Could the big bichir know the little one is a female? Thus the obsession hes having?

Ok going on three hours of him not leaving the little one alone... should call a doctor for R.Kelly over here if it continues over four hours? (that was a joke)

Hes not hurting it or anything but i dont want a dead Bichir due to stress....

Name that small one Lolita. I wouldn't worry about it unless that small one seems stressed-as in trying to get away. If there's no aggression or fear, I'd just let them keep on keepin on.

Ha... Lolita...If it turns out to be a she it's agreed. Alright man Ill take your word for it, ill leave her in there.

You've deprived him for 2 years.. if the little one turns out to be a male, call the large one CP - short for Catholic Priest
