Today I was watching my fish (55gal, 1 peacock, 1 sci. fryeri, 5 lab. hongi, and 2 acei) and the acei have been spawning. It's been awhile since her last batch, unfortunatly the eggs were unfertile or she swallowed them early, and she looks pretty plump. Her tube has yet to show though
Anyway for about 10 seconds she had a spaz attack and started rubbing up against all the rocks and freaking out. Then she was fine. Note there is no sign of ich on her at all, never had the problem.
The male was also fluttering his fins and shaking at her, probably to get her to spawn.
Last night i did clean off all the rocks (brown, disgusting algea) and did a 50% water change.
The female is bigger than the male by an inch so there's no aggression probs with him.
Don't know if that is good to know or not but just want to know if she's getting ready to spawn or if she's sick?
