So I picked up a 2” cb Goldflake at Lfs for a ridiculously reasonable price. I ended putting it in my basement tank with a year old 5” Majestic angel. It was dark and I figured I would keep the lights out until I could see what kind of aggression would go on and have my isolation box ready if needed.
When I turned the light on in the morning they swam up to each other and did this strange kind of shimmy, where the majestic would try to lightly hit the goldflake with its tail and the goldflake would kind of stand on its head and wiggle its dorsal fin at the majestic. It almost looks like clownfish mating behavior. I’m guessing it’s some sort of dominance/submission behavior but I’ve never heard/seen anything like that with my other angels. They continue doing this every 20 or 30 minutes with no overt aggression. Anybody experience anything like this?
