I had gotten a pair of banggai cardinals (not mated, I think they are opposite gender?? I asked my FS for that and he grabbed them...I'm not good at sexing cardinals) and everything seemed fine for the first week I got them (March 11th). Every time I turn around now, the male hunts the female down and literally attacks her. I had to move him two days ago into my QT tank, but all his color is drained and he's stressed...which makes me feel bad. The fish store I bought him from offered to exchange him for another, but it's an hour drive and I wouldn't be able o go until next week...
Is it possible if I reintroduce him he could...become unaggressive? Or should he stay in QT? It's unfortunately a bare bottom tank in case I have to deal with unwanted parasitic pests.
The main tank is a 34 gallon tank with a pair of ocellaris clownfish in there and some snails.
Thank you for all your help!!!!
