Locking jaws

[Localzoo]

So got some Hongi at AM2 and these guys are in a 55 and are about 1" they are beautiful. Some are lighter than others.
Just last night while doing a water change I saw them fighting wtf. isn't that's too small to be bickering? I guess they are living up to their reputations they stopped after the other 4 swam by.
Never seen fish so young get into a scrap.

Anyone ever seen this b4?

I have seen it some but not for the hongi. I have not found that species to be as aggressive as some others. I`m sure they are fine however.

Haven't noticed since or before I think the water level lowering and everyone huddling to one side caused some pushing and shoving.

not a big deal in my experience, mbuna tend to do that early on to establish dominance. I have seen it that young before as well, usually lasts a few days then everything kind of cools down

Cool so I guess aggression can start early, at least earlier than I thought.
