Two days ago I bought two brevis, one is larger than the other and they are already swimming around together and since they have been doing this they have also moved to the shell area of the tank as before they were swimming in the rocks seperately.

Are they a "couple" or is it too soon? How long do they have to be together to become a "couple"?

Just give them time to settle down in their new tank & time will tell if they're a pair or not. Just be patient.

They may be. Watch them and see if the larger ever kind of pushes the smaller into a shell, see if he then hovers over it or if he goes in the same shell after the other. This is pretty standard "couple" behavior. Give them some more time to pair off.


Back in the saddle!
