I think your biggest thing to overcome is her size. I'm sure all will fall into place once she matures. My male would tear through just about anything if he wanted, hiding spots, dividers and so on. I think the key is having a large tank so she can escape and he losses interest. For the most part it seemed the male would get after her from time to time for whatever his reasons, if he could get her or close to it he would not give up. If I get another female it will be when I set up his large tank and get caves that are to heavy for him to flip and only she can get in. The divider is okay but they often hurt themselves on them. Also building hiding spots with smaller rocks and driftwood only holds them back for so long. I would say it is a female but she has a little ways to go before she is ready to spawn. I'm sure my male could have ate his girl if he wanted, if their interested in spawning than that wont be the case. He will be shy of the divider for a little while, then he will jump it, swim under it or knock it down over time if those are possible with that style. Good luck.
