The folks at @Cultivated Reef went above and beyond with a recent fish order! I purchased an Indigo and Orchid dottyback to try and get a mated pair (they didn't know that) and I thought I would be getting two small fish but the Indigo was nice and big while the Orchid was much smaller.
Had them for a little over a week and when they were in the acclimation box with a divider for a few days I removed the divider and I think that's when the bonding started as the Indigo was "beating" up the smaller Orchid.
Today while cleaning and feeding they both continue to eat like pigs and I keep seeing the larger (assuming male) Indigo and smaller (assuming female) Orchid do the love dance! Male twitches and they both swing in circles and I couldn't be happier with my experience with Cultivated Reef!
