Good afternoon. I have a problem with a macmasteri female.
Five months ago, I put a pair of macmasteri in my 26gal/100l aquarium and the male died. Since I read apistos are poligammic, I decided to introduce new male and female but they are not as friendly as I wished. The "old" female is bullying on both male and female although she is on yellow dress. On the other side, the male is trying to seduce the oldest one and also bullying the new female, wich is not in yellow dress.
One day, it seemed the female was accepting the male court but only for few seconds. She is being territorial for an area of the aquarium but I'm really sure she is not breeding. She doesn't guard any cave or hole, I can see all the holes are empty and this situation is lasting for more than two weeks, enough time to have breeded many eggs...
Any suggestion? Thank you!
