The males are more territorial, but I would not call them truly aggressive.  
The sub-males will retreat to the upper reaches of the tank if it is heavily 
planted or decorated.  Once a female has a clutch of eggs to guard, now 
THAT'S aggressive.  The female is probably safe if she has a choice of 
several cave-like structures.

I sometimes receive the first answer as much as twenty minutes ahead of the
