Ok, I have a pair of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus - Nigerian Green. Just have them about a week so I am not real familiar with their behavior, etc. They do hang together most of the time. The male is showing great color .
today, the male was having the shakes / shivers. He would stop and shake his body like you so when you shiver - then he would go back to what he was doing. the female was usually there close - so I did not know if this is art of their mating / breeding ritual - or if he had some disease.
I checked my handbook of Fish Health and really didn't see anything that would account for his shivers. He looks fine - and as I said, he is hsowing very good colors.
Any ideas? Thanks
