Have had a pair of frostbite subzeros for about 3-4 weeks in a 45g. They came as a "bonded" pair.

- First week they were together. Began swimming around and slowly began to swim apart more and more.
- Then we noticed the bigger half (orangie) was hanging in corner while male swam around.
- Then in the evening I would see them acting weird. Shaking their tales like some kind of dance and one one pecking at the other. Don't remember who was who.
- Week 3 they seemed to swim around but not together. Bigger one seemed to stay on the right side of tank.
- Now they are either fighting, bonding or playing (doubt).
- Now the smaller half (blacker) is in the corner.

Thoughts?

Looks like theyre still pairing off or the female is just showing dominance. My pair have been together for a year and occasionally fight like that
