Fighting Sids
Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2007 12:44 am
Just thought I'd post a few quick pics of a couple of sparring sids. They occasionally do this after a huge water change.
It's a shame they don't display like this more often. I think the pattern resembles water colour paint, and looks particularly attactive. The base colour seems to go a bit more yellow, and the usually dark markings fade, but retain a tail spot on the caudal pendance (spelling?). The flarring, and gapping mouth and gills is interesting. I can't tell is their eye spines are out.
