Attached is a 1 minute video of my GBR's in my tank. Any opinions on this behavior would be appreciated. (excluse the sorry looking banana leaf, has since been pruned)
I wouldn't call it aggressive from the male toward the female. I've seen him try to get under her in what looks like an attempt to mate. But she doesn't seem to be receptive. She is younger than he is and they were not put in the tank at the same time. So maybe she isn't mature enough yet for mating?
As feisty as he is to her, she is to other fish. She will color up to almost every other fish (except for Brutus the shark).
Seems the choice to pair up is up to her (when isn't it?). If she never accepts him, is this normal behavior between non-paired GBR's. She doesnt' seem too stressed out and has caught up to him in size and otherwise acts like a GBR should.
