I deal woth dwarf Cichlid aggression by offering plenty of hideing places for them so they can retreat into. Once a pr is formed as long as you keep both fish well fed they will have a similar dominjance and you will get few problems. I had a very aggresive male tormenting a female over last weekend. I fed her heavily this week and they spawned this weekend. Once a pr is formed the key is dominance and as long as boith fish are well fed and in sync you should be fine.
