Tvw321 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Bought a small "female" acei from the LFS. The lone male I had started shimmering in front of "her". I was confident that was a good sign of mating but then a buddy of mine said he could be 2 males fighting ?Any thoughts ? Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi and welcomeThe male will shimmer in front of the female to spawn but ...... Will jaw lock and circle when fighting another maleDid you vent sex the "female" when you bought it or was it just a guess by the colour ?What Acei species are they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tvw321 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Pretty sure. The male is acei. But I can get the missing genders for each species. I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
