Pumilio Male aggression
Can anyone give me some details about their experience with male pumilio being "bullys". I have one confirmed male, and another unknown in the tank with him. He calls ALL day long, and I haven't heard the other call. The other one doesn't seem to be interested at all. The male seems to be following (only at times) the unknown sex around. They uses these slight "flinches" of the body towards each other (similar to lizard "pushups"). I'm not sure if this is aggression or not. It does not look like courting I have seen in darts before. Also, there is no physical contact between them.
Ok, some things have come up while I've been writing this. These do seem to be "interested" in each other. Again I can't tell if this is positive or negative. The non-calling one seems to be kicking it's back legs out, similar to a cat or dog scratching at the grass after they relieve themselves.
Ok, LOL, now it looks as if it could be the beginings to courting... :roll:
I guess I'll stick with my original question:
What have you guys witnessed as far as male aggression in pumilio is concerned?
