Good day.
We have a 79 Gallon tank wit only 1 Green terror and 1 Jack Dempsey . We have had them for 4 weeks already. For the past 3 or 2 days we don't see the Jack eating. He/she eats the blood worms we feed but he/she doesn't eat the pallets (Hikari Gold). Last night when I watched them again I see both the fishes go up for food but as soon as the green terror grabs the pallet and go down the jack follows him/her. A bit later the evening the jack was in the corner of the tank laying on the gravel. Then he/she would pick up the gravel and spit it out (Like making a hole or something), as soon as the green terror comes close he/she would swim around the green terror (Looks like they are dancing). I also noticed last night if the jack comes close to the terror, he would (seems like it) blow up gills. This is the first time I have these fish and I'm not sure if their behavior is normal. Can someone please give me advise why they would do this?
