I bought a pair of (what I was told was) bonded Bangaii Cardinals. I've had them for a little over a week, and they seem to be doing fine (eating, swimming fine, generally being fish)...
I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's normal that they don't "hang out together." They don't ever fight. No aggression has ever been seen, but the one chills in it's spot on the right side of the tank, and the other in a cave on the left. I've always thought that Bangaii's were more of a schooling fish, and had the assumption that a boned pair would hang out together. Should I be worried that they aren't bonded, and maybe one day I'll end up with a problem of aggression on my hands? Will they mostly do what they are doing now, and just hang out together when it's time to breed?
I had put a lot of thought into getting a bonded pair of cardinals and would be a bit disappointed (to say the least) if they weren't what I received from my LFS...
