fighting flash

Post by newshound » Fri Apr 09, 2010 3:22 pm

A month ago I witnessed my lone sid and a really small kub battle it out for at least 45 min. I walked into the room and the two were already at it, the sid completely grayed out. I have never witnessed a loach fight like that before! (and I do own a GRRRR tank ;)

It was a spinning mess of madness.

The kub had the upper hand but the sid wouldn't quit and eventually tired the kub out.

The sid is my sole survivor of a tank crash from years ago and it pesters everyone in this 60 gallon heavily planted kub, rose and histie grow out tank. The sid is smaller then everyone in the tank but that doesn't stop it from being a p.i.t.a to everyone including mature S.A.E. and roselines.
In the end everything went back to normal with seemingly no harm done.

They can be feisty buggers at times. Mine used to pester and attack the Y.modestas that were 6" bigger and probably outweighed them by several hundreds. Akin to attacking Bismarck with a potato gun whilst sat in a dinghy. :lol:
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...
