Title: What are these females doing?
Post by: rcombs on December 30, 2013, 08:03:53 AM

They are fighting like I have seen males do sometimes. I have not seen this with females yet. Anyone have some input on this please?

I didn't watch the video. (It didn't download to the correct file)

But, from the context of what has already been said.... sounds like the females are just establishing their pecking order.

They can start early.  I had fry that were only out of mom :'('s mouth 1- 2 days that were fighting. 

Reminds me of the song...everyone was kung fu fighting.   :)
