More then likely it is aggression but with the scarlet being so submissive i cannot rule out courting.

i have a long list of spawning plans in the near future i will be happy to document as i go along, and no not these two together but each of there own variant

Stunning fish and photos. I have to limit myself to plecos 5 or less inches long but there's no denying the appeal of beatiful giants like yours.

Battle.

Apistomaster, I have to limit the size of my Loricariids also...Those are some amazing looking fish, great pics too. The Geos look great also (in the little bits you can see :D ), how many species are in the tank?

Shaun,
Isn't it a bummer that there are so many fish to keep and never enough space and money to have it all.
I could use a dozen 240 gal tanks for a start. I get bored sometimes with all my discus. I was in Seattle last weekend wishing for an Australian arowana just because I miss having a garbage gut fish around. I did score two Monocirrhus Leaf fish as smaller garbage diposers.
