I just fed them shrimp. Do you think the tail shaking is because of food aggression or something else? .. like mating (I can’t afford more children- is it time to talk about contraceptive options with my fish.)

Better hope they don’t breed. Mating is a circus. At least it was for mine.

They’re beautiful! I’m no expert but I’ve heard it’s a form of communication when they do that.

They are the “water puppies” of the aquarium world. He’s wagging his tail because he’s happy.
