I have three (five) fish. Only the three matter in this scenaro.
The Oranda will go over the the goldfish, and headbutt him. Then the goldfish will give a bit of a butt to the shubunkin under the tail, the goldfish and the shubunkin will have a bit of a wrestle, then the shubunkin will go have a bit of a wrestle with the oranda. Then the oranda will go over to the goldfish and have a bit of a wrestle with him. This all occurs very quickly, and the cory's are just having a nibble. I've only noticed this after feeding, but there's plenty of food on the tank bottom. It could be territorial, but the fish seem to chase each other to the biggest food source, then swim off (not the other way round) I find this confusing. Am I likely to hear the splashing of tiny fins? Or are they being playful? I'm keeping a close eye on them, and their fins & scales are in perfect condition (no nibbling). The plant is being eaten to death though, and I'm probably not feeding them as regularly as I should (the plant is a buffer should I forget) I feed them once/twice a day with flakes, cucumber, corgette, odd bit of garlic, floating pellets (which I wait till they are nice and squishy, then squash them so they sink) peas, bloodworm etc |
