I thought I would share a quick story with you. I have a 100 gallon aquarium and I have a JD Male, JD Female, Oscar (Unknown), Texas (Male) and a Midas (Male) in there.
My Midas and Texas have formed an unlikely coalition which has been very entertaining to watch. I have an issue when cleaning my tank with my Midas trying to attack my arm so whenever I do a deep clean I always catch him in a net and pin it to the side for 20 minutes or so.
I went to wash some new ornaments and came back 15 minutes later to find that the Carpintis was digging his friend out of the trap. He dug a small hole at the bottom and the Midas squeezed out perfectly. I couldnt believe that he was doing that. They are both definately males and are both constantly working together with everything. One will chase away while the other eats and then they will swap duties.
Has anyone else ever seen an unlikely coalition of the same gender of fish?
