    Hey guys, my male and female fish is flaring at each others. It's like those bending of body with fins wide open and pushing of one another.

    Are they at loggerheads, or are they dsiplaying those sexy courtship dance?

    Just keep an eye on them. Should be fine. They are just courting.

    oh okie...they really look like fighting to me. But after my bathe, they stopped and each go back to their own corner.

    BTW genes, do you feed your fish live food? How do you maintain a constant culture?

    If I'm not mistaken, dbcyeo posted a picture of the difference in the color when flaring against a male and a female from his tank. An interesting comparison worth looking at.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Do a google search. You see pics of brine shrimps. search for how to hatch baby brine shrimps. There will be instructions on how to do that as well. For brine shrimps eggs, get from C328.
