Hi all,
Long time lurker here but I decided to make an account as I need some help.
I've had a pair of Apistogramma agassizii for just over a week. They are in a well planted and quite complex 60litre tank.
Last night the female spawned and has become very aggressive. I expected this but I thought the male would have ample room to stay away. He definitely has a lot of places to hide, but the female will pretty much hunt him down. He doesn't seem stressed and keeps reappearing to feed and explore despite her constant attacks. I've noticed some small damage on his tail frilly tail fin.
I'm wondering, will the female calm down a bit when the fry arrive, or get worse? I am going to put the male in a floating cage for now, but I'm wondering if/when I can actually reintroduce him
Thanks,
