Please note I am not requiring you to watch the whole vid. its 16 mins long. Also note this was filmed several days ago and some of the fishes did have ich at the time. If you look closely u will see it. Also my featherfin got heater burns as u can see in the vid that lil white spot. She's doing fine. Also if you look closely under the driftwood between the 2 pieces against the rocks you will see my hiding giraffe catfish. Miss piggy (featherfin) is very agressive and she hates other bottom dwellers. She tends to bite ALOT! Even me she bites.

Do they appear to be getting ready to breed? ive never breed dempsies before. is the ebjd courting the female? could somebody tell me if this appears to be mating or plain and simple agression and explain why? yesterday i did a massive tank makeover and changed everything around. i added more plants and did a water change. i also trimmed the plants and replanted most of them since they were dug up. then i added fertz. do you think im disturbing them too much? they've been doing the above in the video for several weeks now. flared gills and all. should i discontinue maintenance for a little while so they can breed? or maybe lay low for a while?
