not ready to strike ? seems like attack position , one thing i notice is full grown aimara tend to be much mild

i guess they know they are big enough to show who is the boss...

My Aimara is now close to 22 inches and I've noticed it flares it's gills a lot less than it use to, but she still strikes with great force and with little warning. It seems they love to play the stare down game because mine does this also. Nice one you got there Tig.
