Hello,
I have a 75 gal planted tank and I have 2 Panda Garras. They seem to be very happy. I noticed an odd behavior with the 2 yesterday afternoon. They would swim circles around each other and flair their fins. They continued this until one of my horseface loaches came over to see what was going on then they would stop. In about 5 min the action began again. I have looked every to get a clear pic of a male and female thinking this is a breeding dance. No luck. I did read that they like to be in larger groups. I have 2 more in a different tank that I will remove and add to the 75 gal. Anyone out there know more about these fish. :confused:
 
I have actually never heard of this fish before so I had to look them up. It looks like they are just following the pecking order. Some fish like clown loaches do this to establish their hierarchy. It appears they like groups so adding the others would help.
