Anthias Fighting?? - Video Update -

[IrishPride]

Any ideas as to what this behavior is all about? 

I know my umbrella leather looks crappy and so do my kenya tree frags - I just transferred tanks on Sunday and I dropped a rock on them by mistake.  My system and corals are still recovering from the move.

I'm more concerned about these Anthias...

Any ideas?

They've been doing this all day apparently.

I had to shorten the video using Windows movie maker...not sure how to save in a different format for media player.

Re: Anthias Rumble?

I cannot see the video can you describe what they are doing.  It is one of my favorite fishes.

Re: Anthias Rumble?

Sorry about the video.  I will try and change it.

They are locking jaws and swimming around in circles.  I'm not exactly sure what this means.  I just put them in the tank the other night.  As far as I know they are both females.

Try the video again.....hopefully works for you.

Thanks

I think they are fighting because they're envious of how fantastic that yellow tang looks!
