Everyday when we feed them, these youngster of barely 2 months old, effective beg for food. However, once their tummy full, a much more attractive activities happening! That's when they started to flare to each other, moving about the tank and pretty much teasing each other to see who can spread the biggest tail :)
Perhaps this is an early exercises that they're practicing, before they reach adulthood. Just like a young lion cub will tease each other and learn how to hunt before they are completely on their own, hunting and finding their own foods.
Anyway, here are two pictures of them flaring, after a full stomach.
They flare to both males and females, don't really care who stands on their path. VZ kept saying "males have their own ego on flaring, but females don't want to be left behind too!" This ritual is more apparent when their tummy full. On other times they seemed to be quite peaceful, with some occasional flaring, not as frequent.
The nice thing is, of course, rarely any of them hurt. They break off when the flaring gets intensified. This kind of flaring, will continue for another 1 or 2 weeks before the bigger males get separated. From then on, they will flare and fight like an adult :)
For those interested, the fry are still available for the lot of 10. Better contact us soon and enjoy your own flaring show :)
