Male Firemouth Digging Hole

[DirtyHarry]

Just curious why my firemouth is digging a hole in the gravel and stacking all the pieces of gravel on the same flat rock. He attacks my blood parrots if they get anywhere near the hole. Is this some kind of territory thing?

Hi there,

Standard breeding instinct for firemouth's, my pairs always dug a pit for the newly hatched fry to be creched in.
