xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) OK, minding my own business after tank maintenance sat down to lunch in front of my tanks. I have 10 Harlequins. I noticed one was upside down under a plant leaf...I thought oh no I have a dying Harlie. As I grabbed the floating breeder and approached I saw it right itself and swim normally. It's done that many times since I started watching, I caught a quick pick but my apologies it's from my tablet so the quality is terrible (phone too far away and didn't want to spook them). The Harlequin seems to shiver/shake upside down then right itself. Is this the male or the female doing this? Anybody have experience?

Flumpweesel Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Seem something similar in my community tank looked it up and yes they will lay eggs on plants. I don't see it very often as apparently it's a morning thing for them. Nothing has come of it in my set up but I have siamese egg eaters in there odds are not in anyones favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockEwe49 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 My first fish when I got back into the hobby were Harlequins. I discovered one fry one day. I would see this upside down behavior every morning when the lights turn on. Also lots of chasing around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
