I have been searching with no success other than a breeding dance......My aro will seemingly look out at me and begin doing a what I call a tail-dance. It looks straight out at me and every time right at me! Then curls up and moves left to right with her head while slithering her tail curling and uncurling not ever at the top but more so in the middle of the tank, slowly moving forward and back curls then head moves to the left uncurls then head goes to the right. An AMAZINGLY beautiful display it seems to occur ONLY when I am looking at her I keep an eye on her while watching TV and what not while in the area but she never does it only when I am watching her and she ALWAYS appears to be watching me as if she is "dancing" for me. This seems to happen alot about 30 min. after a 1/3rd water change and quite frequently after a middle of the week krill feeding...so to me it seems it occurs at times when she is "happy". Has anyone else witnessed this behavior from their silver aro or any aro for that matter?? If so what do you think it is? A display of cheerfullness???:confused::D
o yeah she is the only aro in the tank so I am fairly certain it is not a breeding dance unless she wants to mate with me!(no smart remarks Im not a fish humper just a fish keeper)
 
!(no smart remarks Im not a fish humper just a fish keeper)

lol i wasnt going to do that :D anyway my oscar sometimes does the same thing kinda but only when i feed him he does like a dance :nilly: :screwy: but yer not sure just something that fish does i guess.
 
It just want food:D Anyway, constant rubbing against the glass the barbels will not be as nice.:D
 
she doesn't touch the glass at all she stays back a couple inches it is just awesome to watch, she does it after eating though? she still has barbells that are about and inch long o yeah koji you seem to know alot got another question for you, she has recently been chasing my 8" royal clown knife and chasing even when she has a stomach full of feeders any suggestions besides relocating the clown knife or do you think he will just be an expensive snack some day??
