my fish is shaking

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

today i got a c. moorii and almost straight away my male peacock started shaking like he was haveing a fit but as soon as the moorii goes he stops when he comes back he starts again the peacocks is defending his terrortory but still is it normal for him to be shaking like that. he dont do it with anyother fish only the moorii any remarks would be good

Some individuals show this behaviour more than others do but it’s quite normal.
He will display this behaviour not only to defend his territory but also to defend his "rank".
You won’t see it as much after a while when the Moorii has accepted his place. If not, the Moorii will challenge the peacock (and others) into a fight which will decide who’s going to occupy that curtain place. This may lead to some disturbance in your tank for some days as everyone is trying to maintain his "position". Things like that always happen when a new fish is introduced to the tank. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

yeah i knew that their was nothing wrong with him but the peacock would be the dominant fish in the tank seeming cause his the largest and has been in their the longest.
