Man.. the GBR is VERY territorial!

The male Bolivian(I can tell by his anal fin) He has claimed that rock cave on the right side of the tank.. and he is in FULL colors along with the female GBR... This is very interesting to watch!

Just wanted to see them sleeping so I turned on the light and found one of the BRs full of black!




Is this normal, looks amazing to me!

Yeah, it's normal for them to turn dark when when they rest at night. Might be a safety measure, makes them more difficult to see.

Nice video, btw. They crack me up how they're always darting at one another just for the heck of it. I swear they start that as soon as they hatch. Mine were squabbling at 1/2"!

Sweet fish, hoping to get a pair of either bolivians or GBR's in a 10 pretty soon. Might have to upgrade to a 29 so I can get some of that flashing you've got in your tank

I would go pick up a 40gal breeder from petco, they should still be having their dollar a gallon sale. My local ones are! :D

Get a few pairs of rams! They are fun to watch!
