ok... I've had cardinals for a loooooooong time. Never really paid much attention to them except to feed them, fish out the dead ones, and make sure they don't have worms/velvet/ich, etc...
I would assume that like any school of fish, there will be bullies and submissives, but... I have 2 that truly HATE each other all of a sudden. The smaller of the two was actually bruised from their fights, but still holds his own. The larger is possibly a female, as she is much heavier and broader than the other.
I do not have any delusions that they are breeding, but, other than removing one and re-homing it or retiring it, does anybody have any ideas? All my water parameters are perfect for discus. I have just never seen such aggression in my cards before.
