Hi guys I have a 5.5inch green terror aka golden saum anyway he also lives with a male bristlenose about the same length as the gt in a 210ltr 55gal aquarium now yesterday my gt got a little close to big boy the bn and he the bn extended his spikes on the side of his head and started to thrash his head side to side and my gt got the hell out of there it was quite funny to watch..so my question is....is that normal for a large male bn 5.5inches to become agressive? Otherwise my tank is very quite most times.... this is a pic of my aquarium

My male BNs butt heads often enough fighting over the single female. It's never gotten so bad I've had to separate them tho.

i bet they were fighting over that sweet clay pot plant tilted on its side, probably just establishing territorys pecking order etc
