Hello all!
I have two yellow labidos (labidochromis caeruleus)sp? in my tank. I hope they are a pair, but I am only sure the larger one is a male. The other is still to small to know. The male has been digging under the rocks today. My substrate is corse black sand, and the main rock is a chunck of white holey rock. He's been moving the sand one piece at a time. He's also been sticking all his fins way out when he sees the smaller one. Is this typical behavior for these guys? Is he digging himself a nest?
I know these are mouth breeders, but with the smaller one at only 2 inches, it seems awful soon to see spawning behaviors. The smaller one seems oblivious to the male's behavior.
