i have four german rams in a semi-planted tank with a small school of bleeding heart tetras. from all my research i thought rams were supposed to be quite shy. mine eat from my hands, and have done since i got them. two of them constantly swim around with the bleeding hearts like they are part of the school. they never bother the other fish, just swim in circles with them. has anybody ever heard of rams with this behavior, or did mine just not get the memo about being timid?

rams are cichlids and cichlids will do anything for food. following the bleeding hearts like following dogs to find food lol. the bleeding hearts are quick and will find it first and the rams know it.
