Re: funny thing happening

Does she have long trailers on her fins ?  Or only the male ?
Shivering at the fish without biting or chasing is usually one of two things..  submission or play time.   I hope for you play time.  Because you may need to bring out grow out tanks from storage soon :)

Re: funny thing happening

no it doesn't have long trailers on it's fins.....he does but the other one doesn't....and yes he was chasing it all over the tank today and shaking at the other one....does that mean it is a female then?.....
and thanks for the answer to my question zu.....
