Super-aggressive Crowntail.

[Rynoah]

Recently, I noticed my dad's crowntail that I bought for him a week or so ago was bubblenesting under a leaf that happened to be on the surface of his tank (I'd just turkey-bastered the poo out of the tank, so the water was low enough). So I thought I'd stick a styrofoam cup in there for him.

He hasn't stopped attacking it. I don't know if it's because there's a little red on it, or if he's just really pissy.

Anyone else have this problem? How'd you fix it?

It is obvious..he is a male and so he is showing off making a bubble nest...he knows that the cup means he might have to breed and he dont like girls and he is all bluff...easy peasy!

Hahaha! That may be. He's always flaring at me and my mom when we look into the tank, but not so much for my dad or brother. Hmmm. . . .

CTs are gumpy little devils

He's just showing his attitude but might be good to take it out so he doesn't stress himself out too much

Yeah, it's out. I even tried to introduce it in the dark, hoping he'd get used to it that way, but no deal. It's either his way or no way at all.
