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. > A different note: are we having list problems or is my ISP simply > slow?
