Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, but not new to fishkeeping. Here is my question, and I do hope that someone will have an answer for this: I have three glass cats (yes, I know there should be five or more, and there WAS; a couple died and I haven't seen them at my LFS since, and so it goes. They are doing GREAT, by the way). Two of them tend to swim together, as in attached. Ok, here is what I mean: when I feed them they all swim around and eat and after a time these two start to swim next to each other, one holding onto the other with its' mouth, on the lower edge of the others' torso. They don't seem to be hurting each other, in fact, when the one hanging on lets go the other slows down and waits for him/her to reattach! Never have I seen anything like this! It's quite funny to watch. For general info, I have had these cats for over a year, but I only observed them behaving this way for the last 3 days. And trying to find info on glass cats mating behavior is impossible, so I can't even be sure if that is what they are doing. (I also understand that mating glass cats in aquaria is next to impossible, as is mating Kuhli Loaches, but the loaches managed it all on their own with no help from me, so who knows??)
Any thoughts? Thanks for the look!
