After two weeks they had formed a couple and the single female was never allowed to go near the bottom. Both the male and the female would chase her away. After a month I had a very sick fish standing near the surface gasping for air. I moved here. I didn.t think she got sick of being harassed so I bought one more only to see the same thing happen with the new female. Maybe I just was unlucky and maybe the tank was to small for two females but one thing is certain, my Nijsseni male is quite aggressive. Daniel E.
