flashy fish

As in showing off (not as in, glancing off objects in irritation).  

When I took the remaining female guppies out of the 33L, my trio of white clouds in here almost immediately started chasing, displaying, flaring, practically doing a jig in the corner.

I am pretty sure they are getting ready to spawn again. I had always assumed they were not spawning because of Laddie- now it seems must have been the guppy presence inhibiting them. 

What's interesting is that one of the males has proved himself over the other, and I've been watching the female and this dominant male, vibrating their fins and shimmying alongside each other. Once they did so while rising evenly through the water column together. The plump female puts on almost as much show as the male. Male and female, side by side:

Of course, I don't need more white clouds- but it's nice to see them feeling so lively.
