Adding A Banggai To Make A Pair???
Hi folks all, your thoughts/suggestions welcomed.
I have a single, juvenile banggai cardinal, gender unknown and he/she is not fat enough to check the vents to see if there is one or two, so sexing is impossible. However, I'd like to have a pair in my 6ft.
My understanding is that more than one banggai, unless a mated pair, just leads to aggression and thats something I wouldn't be happy with. How then can I get a pair into the tank?
Thoughts:
1. Buy one more and hope its the opposite sex and then remove one if aggression develops?
2. Buy two more and hope statistically that one of those is the opposite sex, wait for a pairing and remove the "spare"?
3. Buy 5 more which would virtually guarantee a pair and spread out any aggression?
4. Remove the current banggai and sell hm/her and then buy a known pair???
