tiger barbs

[Cstratton7]

Ok my female went in my cave for the first time today and has never came out since...the male comes and checks on her every 15 seconds, but if he gets too close she chases him off. (usually it's the male chasing the female)

here is a pic of the male checking up on the female. Tell me what you think is goin on.

Nope I disagree. Theyre not doing that, they're claiming their positions in the tank. The female just enjoys that spot and it'z probably cozey... because my exactly same tiger barbs that are not even the size of a dime do the same thing... I did the same exact cave you did as well, but mine is a little bit bigger...
