[kevin007]

Oh i only have other cories in there!

 

[kevin007]

[CFC]

A pecking order is the order of who is in charge and who isnt, they will fight until every loach knows its place.

 

[kevin007]

[Gix]

Yeah my two bigger loaches do that every so often. By now it's really clear who's the boss of whom, and they've stopped fighting.

What language?

 

[kevin007]

hmm. my clowns still chase...? =/ is it ok? should i be worried?

 

[Gix]

I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you see anyone getting hurt (and I don't think you will), they're fine. Like puppies, they like a little horseplay.

>>> What language?

I suspect CFC edited it out.

Usually, pecking order squabbles do not result in actual injury. Keep an eye on them though.

 

[Hooligan]

Don't worry bout them they will be absolutely fine
