A pair you don't see every day

[evanish]

Not mated yet but the male ( True Percula ) is already trying to mate with the female. ( tomato ) I've had the male for 8 months and the tomato for well over 2 years and last week, I added them to the same tank and they didn't fight once. As of now, they are in a 10 gallon holding tank.

The male keeps on going around the female and trying to "mate" with her. He also shakes when he gets up close to her.

Saw a large female Clarke and a small male Maroon at the LFS, that was a funny looking pair. Nice work!

As long as they don't fight, I'm fine.

If they breed I'll be in shock. They may just stay good buds.
