It's always only been two at a time battling it out. First time I've seen three of them going at it.
Tag team battle!

Thank you. I've traded out some of my top/mid swimmers the last 6 months or so. I'll eventually have to thin things out a bit, but pretty content with it at the moment. Thought about getting some manzanita branches and doing something different with the scape, but haven't had the drive to actually do it lol
Haha it's always fun to watch them battle it out clicking and body smashing each other. Sometimes my small go out it like that over feeding areas and they'll be 6 going at it like dogs lol
Great vid! I've had 3 or 4 go at it in the past when I had a group of 15 CL's kept as a single species in a 125 gallon. Every once in a while there seemed to be a shift in the lower ranked fish, but they never challenged the alpha (female?) of the group. I sure miss that set up.
Typically most of the battles between my shoal are with a combination of the three going at it in the video. The largest of those three I believe is the alpha. The next largest (not in the vid) was wild caught at large size and seems to be quite reclusive and submissive. That leaves the next two in size to battle it out. The real small ones are all still quite new, so in time they may start to go at one another.
