The remaining male pearl I have left is very active swimming up & down the glass d'you think he's possibly bored?

Really wish I'd got 2 females to start with like I asked for in the store originally.

If he's been roughing up the other one, he's probably checking to see if there's anyone else about.....
He should calm down eventually, I've kept them as singles in the distant past.

He appears to be ok still very active and sometimes a wee bit skittish not sure if he's just active, bored, lonely or still looking for a lady friend.
