Pseudacanthicus Pitanga L024

Post by rob rensen »

A few months ago I bought two Pseudacanthicus Pitanga, L024. A male and female. For the time being I put them in different tanks to give them some rest after just being imported

these are pictures when I just picked them up

Hi Rob,

The torn dorsal fin has healed well since arrival. Is this courtship (it looks like what I'd expect) or fighting?
