I have 4 xingus roughly around the same size pushing 5-6 inch. Had them growing out in a 45g but recently moved them to my 350g. Not sure of the sex but at this stage i feel i have at least one male (the biggest of the bunch) and one female (the smallest of the bunch), the other 2 im not sure and they keep me guessing.
The amount of time i spend at home during the day they all seem to get along fine, however at night it's a different story. The past two nights ive noticed there has been a bit of agression between the 3 biggest ones. One in particular seems to be more aggressive and will hold the middle of the tank like 'come on lets see what you got' with the other two both going him at the same time (lip locking and biting ect), for which the 2 tag team combo come of second best. The victor, after whooping their ass than proceeds to chase them around the tank wanting to continue the scrap (it and gets so pumped up).
After everything settles down a bit they eventually return to the middle of the tank and go for round 2 in the same manner. I found this very entertaining and pulled up a chair thinking to myself 'I wonder how long this will go on for' by round 4 i was like 'right thats enough of this' and dropped in same food to distract them.
Has anyone experienced anything like this with pbass and explain what could possibly be going on?
