I have a pair of Bangaii Cardinals and the last 2 days the female seems to be getting more and more excited and swims around the male fast. Tonight she was swiming right up to the males side and kwivering really fast and goes the other side and does the same.
Does that mean that she's about to lay eggs or just theat they are a pair ?
Oh and the female gets so excited that her face get pale. Is this normal ?
Thanks
