Hey guys, I recently bought a male and female GBR, unfortunately after a few days I noticed that the female was barely swimming around and ultimately ended up dying
Not wanting the other GBR to be alone, I went to the store to buy another but they only had golden rams and they were all males
So the guy at my LFS told me that the two males should be fine together...Well after adding the golden ram I noticed that my GBR is chasing him around the tank and bumping into him, no nipping or anything that I can see of, he just chases him around and then will stop for a bit, and then he continues to do it.
I've already tried moving plants/decorations, I even added two more plants to break up territories but alas that has not worked either.
I cant really find too much on the topic, So that is why I am now here. Hopefully someone can shed some light on me if this is normal behavior or if I should be concerned. Again, its nothing more than chasing him around and every so often he gets close enough to "bump" into his side, no nipping from what I can tell.
Thanks for the help everyone!
