If Jardinis are so agressive toward each other and other fishes how the hell do they breed do they have like a battle before doing it :ROFL:
 
nah they find shelter and hang solo most of the time. they dont school as much. even the young will find shelter like a snag of logs etc. those young that dont do so well in the find and defend a log sometimes form a loose shoal. when its breeding time its another story.
 
They breed in mosnter spaces and then split.
 
Just like most creatures on the planet.. Many live solitary but during breeding time, they do it than leave.. Even fight... Best example would be like cougars or leopards... Males and females are never seen together unless mating, after they are done, they never see each other..
 
That is a good question. Most wouldn't know Jardinis breed in winter and do school to some extent while in breeding mode. The colder temps would help with aggression but I am sure there are many other factors that would be very hard to replicate in home aquaria. Remember in the wild if a fish is loosing a battle it can simply swim away. In your tank it is a different story.
 
Another question about a Jardini? Can you sex a Jardini the way you sex a Asian Aro because they sort of look similar?
