What are they doin?


What does it mean when my yellow tang keeps on pushing his back end up to my new manderin? The manderin does his own thing and does not seem stressed but he does get push around a little.

If he's backin' up...it's usually a type of agression dance. Kind of like a "Hey..don't mess with me" kind of thing.

Wouldn't worry about it unless the tang starts actually nipping/beating on the mandarin.

Most of the time, I think it's practice...more than anything.
