I'm just curious, is there a way to tell the difference between aggression fluttering and mating fluttering? :roll:

Can't really tell except to some extent by the context.

It is difficult, but watch for the serious biting. More biting than fluttering is not the mating dance .

I heard that when the female and the male flutter back at each other it means aggression.

Also, would fluttering very frequently mean more of aggression than mating?

my 2 fluttered at each other , they grew up together from hatchlings now they are about 4 inches and 3 inches, and I have caught them mating, I try to stop them when I see them and I am in the process of setting up another tank, ( I don't know how tocare for babies and eggs) plus 2 is enough , they don't bite at each other just flutter and mate :((
