    be prepared, as with all new relationships, the honeymoon may end! Mine bickered for a few weeks till the black one won the argument, now all is fine again!

    I figured that they would eventually fight a little, hopefully not much because as i believe you said, the orange one is most likely female because of how big she is.

    If they are separated at night, is that fine? i already am hating that the black one is staying near the overflow. I'm paranoid about that, a lot of flow into that. but they are on opposite sides of the tank... so I'm hoping that they will start socializing in the morning..
