Yeah, he is a fighting fish, but I hate to call him like that. I do however put a mirror in front of the tank to turn him on a little, but only for a couple of minutes. I also plan to breed them, but I need another tank to do that and a female. Also I'm sorry to hear about your dog. :sad: Nice to hear, if you ever need some tips I'll ask my older bro see if I can help :)
