Pictus' fighting?

[Tstone]

I have 2 Pictus' and they fight like non stop...... There is never any "fighting" out of any of my fishes besides these 2..

I always heard Pictus' were just very active and not aggressive or anything..

Anyone else see this sort of behavior from their pictus'?

I have heard that they are best kept alone, with no other pictus in the tank.. although I have two myself and haven't seen any issues..

Hmm, I THOUGHT I read somewhere they're best kept in like groups of 3? But I don't even know if I read that for sure, just thinking I did... idk.. I don't think having another one would do anything for the fighting.. and I don't really wanna get rid of one..

They do like to be in groups.. They may just be fighting over dominance in the tank. Keep an eye on their health, it should end..

over dominance? Look at their tank mates...... lol
