Yeasterday I was cleaning my tanks and descided to start the process of grooming my males for next years show and hopefully in the process getting the females to put on some size too since they will not be laying eggs(hopefull). I set the tank up, moved Jade(female Trimac) out, and put Edgar in. There was a pause as Edgar adjusted, then the two's eyes met......BAM! It was like one of those old wild west movies when both draw at the same time, because man did they charge at the same time. I went back to make sure the female's were doing ok, then went back just intime. They had knocked the divider about out of place and were trying to get at each other in the worst way. Luckily I always keep extra suction cups and reinforced it, but not without getting my hands tore up abit in the process. Man I need gloves, lol. That was last night, today I checked on them and was plesently suprised. Edgar's hump has gotten slightly larger and Onyx's colors are brighter. It just go's to show that rivalries bring out the best of everything. I also measured them and they both are now 8"(counting fins), they will definently be ready for next year. Both put away I would say about an ounce of pellets this mourning in two feedings. Guess their working up in apitite. I will take more pics tonight and posibly some vids. Day pics just aren't the best with the sun.
