I saw one at the lfs which is definitely male so I bought him. I put him in the tank and he has thebest coloration but not very intense which could be because he is new and a little stressed.

1.) Heres the question...I have 2 AUSTRALIAN rainbowfish in the same tank and BOTH are male. Is it possible these 2 males are putting the boesemani's "in their place" which could account for why theyre not showing off their coloration?

2.) two of the other boesemanis sometimes swim very close together side by side...anything up with that?
