Clown shimmies at me.

[FLricordia]

My new yellow striped maroon aproaches the front glass when I have my face stuck up there, clamps his pectorals to his side, goes vertical and shimmies. He only does this when I am close. Is this a dominance thing?
I maintain a 240 with a large maroon that boldly attackes my hand whenever I clean or something. I guess they are agressive and territorial?

I've been told I was a clown, I just didn't think to take it literally. The maroon is about 2.5".
Well, finally got a female (I'll assume it is and hope so) to pay some attention to me, not exactly what I had in mind, but when you are single at age 45 you can't be too picky.

Glad for that info...I have 2 false perculas and one is doing that shimmy thing like crazy with the other one, then they dive into the rbta they are hosting in...thanks

My old pair of ocellaris did that. The male to the female of course. But the female would do it to me. Very amusing...even after 3 years.
