Was watching my molboro parents over last few days and notice that they would at the bottom of the tank looking like they were attacking they young.

Not the case as they not targeting the young but targeting their own reflection on the bottom, if i look through the side at the parents i can see double of them in the bottom not sure if it is an optical illusion or not does anyone else seen this behaviour.

Looking at an angle it should reflect, but straight on like the fish probably see it....there should be no reflection.

thats what i thought maybe the tank protection foam was giving back there reflection matt, but i think they are just being jelous with each other now, don,t know y though as when these two got together they were absalutely brilliant even when fry were small all fry eating on there own now18 days old or more, but see no stress in parents or there skin from fry, most of the juvies now forrageing on there own eating anything i give them.
