monos fighting

[rufazz]

hey guys i have two similary sized monos i think maybee both males from same spawn about 17 cm long im from australia

now i just intriduced them and they seem to be fighting each other ive never seen cichla do this before should i be worried

they both have not been in this tank long from two seperate tanks introduced one day apart there are in there with two bay snook

Are they fighting or just having territorial scuffles? I have six cichla in each of my two tanks and they are constantly display shows of dominance to establish hierarchy.

yea i think its a alpha thing manily im pretty sure it will fizz out
