My male flagfish has this one spot in the tank that no one is allowed to
intrude on (the only exception is neons - he leaves those alone). The
female is always chased away. He does this thing - he points his head
to the gravel and his body will shimmer like he's trying to move the
gravel or something. Anyway, I think he's the one who's been biting my
Glossostigma leaves off.
