brucem so you think it could be some sort of pairing behaviour?

They are only new in the tank. The males were put in on Saturday and have been quite peaceful together. The 2 females went in yesterday and that's when the aggression began. I thought perhaps it was a sign that the 1 of the males was trying to pair.

Quick question - Neo. Caudopunctatus, Are the males quite aggressive towards the females when they are trying to "attract" a female? I have what I believe is 2 males and 2 females. 1 of the males is alternating between aggressively chasing the 2 females and nipping at them, "showing off" alongside them and sort of positioning himself between the other male and the females. He isn't showing any aggression towards the male.

Hello everyone. Getting back into Cichlid keeping after a while away. Love tangs and was wondering if there is anyone around Adelaide who are keeping them? Cheers Phil
