Bonded pair spawned

[Alchameth]

So I am having an aiptasia issue, and went to check the fuge section in my sump for something related to that and happened to notice that apparently my Bonded pair of bengali cardinal spawned. One way or another, a fry or egg found its way into my sump and well, I found this guy hanging out in there tonight. The question is, should I move it to the main tank, or will its parents mess with it? If I had to approximate I'd say it is about 1/10th the size as its parents currently.

Bangaii cardinals are only shoalers as young specimens. Once mature they will split off into pairs or remain solitary. The parents most likely will not allow a third much younger specimen in the tank if they’re established.

I had the same happen but there were 3 of them and 2 made it to juvenile stage that I could sell. Sump is the best place for them. No aggression, low flow and abundant live food.

Don't put him with the parents, they will eat/kill it. Worse case, one of the parents will try to swallow it and then choke to death on it.
