Thought this was pretty funny, two Sewellias of the size ~1cm competing who gets to hang out on the biggest rock in the tank.



Sorry for the poor quality. This is just a short clip, went on alot longer until a Gastromyzon came between to calm down the duo. They are an copy of the adults, not only by looks but the ways too. Gotta love 'em.

Hmmm, if they are fighting like this at such a young age, what is it going to be like when they are adults?

This is pretty funny!
Hope they stop fighting when their hormones settle down!

Great video!
They are certainly entertaining fish to watch.
