Bonded pairs a real thing?

[ca1ore]

centropyrge angels live in haremic structures with one dominant male and multiple (2-4) females, thus, having only a pair often leads to brutal behavior between them and can be risky. Have a back-up plan if trying two.

Actually, that's a good point. Years ago, when I had more than one flame, I bought a group that was one male and three females. They did well for quite a long time.

I didn’t. I was able to find a local pair at a much more reasonable price, without the “bonded” in their title. Here’s to hoping they pair up just fine.

Next time call and ask what exactly they mean. For the most part they can give you a good answer.

Well I ordered a bonded pair of longnose hawkfish from DD on Friday for delivery today, but unfortunately received an email late last night saying the package was damaged prior to leaving. I am going to be hopeful and think that they just double sold the item. On the bright side I have a pair of crosshatch triggers coming tomorrow so we shall see how they turn out.

I bought two longnose hawkfish from separate tanks in the same store, at the same time. They paired immediately. Almost always together. I believe I read that they are social hermaphrodites. One of them changes sex to make a pairing. I'm sure someone that knows more than me can explain it better.

That would be great, as plan to keep most, if not all species in either a pair or harem.
