So recently my male Metriaclima Greshakei (currently the biggest and dominant male of the tank) and my Melanochromis johannii hybrid have been fighting over dominance.
They have happily got along not bothering each other for quite some time, as they were both in the tank when I got it from a friend about a year ago.
The greshakei has just beat the johannii up and his color has faded but he still will not back down.
(They have been doing this for about a week)
Whats strange is they both slap the surface of the water with their tails and sides, often hitting the filter making a loud thump.
Is this surface and filter hitting normal? Will they quite fighting soon or just kill each other?
Like I said they just recently started this and have gotten along fine up until now.
Anyone have any clue to what I can do or suggestions on this? :-?
Thanks
