hi need advice.. the no.2 female has stopped hiding however she has terrorised everyone in the tank including the alpha male and alpha female. Currently she has come out of hiding for the past 3 days and has claimed the front portion of the tank as hers and now all the fishes are hiding at the back of the tank. Have checked the husk no eggs and no sign of any fries. She is bright yellow looks full of eggs.so meaning shes horny?
Tank mates are 2 goby,4 small pelcos, cardinal tetras, 1male 1 female.
Please advice..

She had most probably shifted the fries, common to be so aggressive when moving the fries.
