So I have a pair (M & F) of german blue rams in my 40 with 1 green severum, 1 senegal bichir and 1 bn pleco.
I did a WC and cleaning yesterday on their tank and today I've noticed the male ram has become very aggressive towards the severum, who minds her own business and the bichir, who also is very chill. He's only about 3" long and the severum is about 4 1/2-5".
He (the ram) has been chasing the severum around, and pecking at the bichir. I just noticed also the female's colors are getting super dark when the severum comes around her. I see NO eggs anywhere, but I'm wondering if this is a sign of possible spawning?? I've never in my life had fish that have had babies since I'm still really new at this.
The guy at the LFS I got the rams from said, sometimes after a water change they spawn but will most likely eat the eggs.
Usually they're really chill and only chase each other around.
Can someone shed some light on this? Any advice would be awesome! Thanks
