        Yes he can be grumpy. I had a smal Apisto pass away and it got stuck behind the Fx6 intake that just so happened to be his latest girlfriends spawning nestt on the side of it. I had to pull the suction cups off tank to get the Apisto. He got mad at me for getting too close to his girlfriends eggs so he kept pecking at me until I finished up.

        On a more scientific note. Seems like I keep getting more females by far than males. I have two males for sure and another potential males for a 3 to 8 ratio. That's a good mix but for a while I had all my females pairing up guarding eggs that could never hatch.

        My boys grow these spires off the ends of their dorsal fins. It's a bit more impressive than the females.

        I had to trade in my Teapajos. The breeding pair I had were beautiful but the bigger they got the more aggressive they became when spawning. They never hurt a Discus but the group started becoming timid and I had to make a difficult decision.
