One of our scooter blenny's have seems to be not acting normal, I've notice over the last few days that he doesn't seem to move much and breathes heavy, he doesn't show any signs of disease.
Ok, I'm trying to get to this... without beating around the bush. We believe one of the scooters is female and the other male, they've always gotten along and the smaller one the female we believe has always ignored him, he'd chase her and show his fin when she'd get around. Well she's been changing colors, I'm not sure what that means, she'd go really light almost the color of the sand, then she'd go almost purple in the face. They've both been showing off their fins and moving the sand.
Anyone know if it is a sign of mating or if it is a sign of territory? If it is territory why now? They've gotten along for so long, yet she doesn't seem to attack him, just gets next to him and then they take turns showing off their fins.
Below is a pic of both of them, nope it's not a mirror image I actually caught them with both of their fins showing. This goes on all day long, I guess I'd be tired too.
Look forward to any help anyone can give me, not that I can do anything, just want to make sure he's ok, they are are favorite fish.
