Please help. I have a new pair of inka 50 I bought at a local pet shop.
They are in top shape. Beautiful fish.
The male takes these runs at the female every time she is in eye site of the male. 10 gal tank. Ph is 4.8 and tds of 70
Temp is 82
Black sand bottom and lots of wood and Java moss.
Any help would be great. Feeding live blackworms and live baby brine shrimp 2 times a week. Is the female just not ready and he is.
Any help would be great . Thanks

Nijsseni-group species, like A. baenschi, can be choosy about breeding partners. If not compatible then your best option is to separate the fish and try other specimens.
