Post Spawn Behavior:

more territorial. They will charge the glass front of the tank if im looking for too long.
Interesting they don't attack me if I am cleaning the tank and move the flower pot with my hand. But they will hit and/or bite my siphon hose during cleaning if its stationary for a period.
