Hi,

One of my yellow tail acei's been shaking around a greshaki and a yellow lab. Think they're both males, but I thought that they only shook infront of females to mate....??

What's going on?

Thanks
 
no i believe he is trying to establish his dominance, or they are disputing over territory and he is saying "this right here is mine!" lol. its not just a breeding stance, i have seen my africans do it over their area of rockwork
 
Its all about who's is bigger. Its a guy thing. LOL
 
They will also settle with females of other species, so in the event that you are not 100% positive that they are all males and one of them turns up with a mouthful of hybrids you should not be surprised.
