mm.. they are schooling fish >> as we all know if they are not in the right numbers they act weird... 2-3 might increase aggression and probably will not fix it where as 4 will fix it.

up you can try 2-3 and see what that does and simpley add 1-2 more if thew problems contiune.

Hey, maybe it's a lover's quarrel!? I've never heard/read any reports of them breeding in hobbiest tanks.

My SAEs are as bad at begging at the glass for food as my piggy Koi Angel fish. I swear they can hear me walking up the stairs and ZOOM to the corner that faces the door.

Wonderful job catching the action by video. Thanks for sharing that!

video was 18mb so I couldn't use a free site. This link is only on a DS3 I manage so it may take a few minutes to download the movie unless you can do 6mb a sec.
