Female is paired with the other male in tank, but looks like this one is trying to woo her
I’m just curious about this behavior I’m seeing with my Thorichthys maculippinis group, the little female has spawned twice with the other male briefly seen at right, but it looks like this one is trying to get her attention, he’s been cleaning the rocks and plants in that area and shimmying at her all morning.
Usually getting in that pair’s space would provide a much bigger defensive reaction, but she’s only halfhearted chasing him and the male of the pair doesn’t seem to care at all. The tank was completely rearranged two days ago so everyone’s claimed territories did get disrupted.
