I also wouldn't discount the fact that this fish is very poorly collected and not eating is just par for the course... And they don't form true pair bonds. That's just a marketing gimmick to describe two fish that don't harass each other.

Oh hey Albert! Been a long time~

Thanks for the input on these fish... Guess I will just have to keep my eye on them for now.

All 3 of mine eat pellets....

U have vary good luck:) hope mine is just as good as yours

That, my friend, is what they call luck.. And good on you for having it haha :P

Based on the pictures, I don't see any signs of a male potters in the first picture. Actually, maybe just a shadow, but I see more dark area in the second fish. Males usually are darker than females (less orange) in addition to some other patterns. They may or may not become bonded in the future. For now,I would get an egg crate and separate them in the QT.

I see, now I need some other suggestion.

I got this pair at a higher price compare to buying two individually (not pair) since these two doesn't seem or act like a pair do you guys think I should go back the LFS and talk to them see if I get a refound or credit something like that?

Thanks all

I don't think most places would take that request seriously over a few forum posts :_(

But who knows, worth a call!
