It's very normal. Maybe you should split them for a while if they're getting really nasty.
My pair of Festae before this pair was tough to make happen. I lost many males to a super aggressive killing female before I finally got lucky.

~ had to read the post a couple of times lolA lot of people say the males are more aggressive but IME, when young the female is much more aggressive toward the male.

Thanks for the info man and I don't wanna have to poke holes in there fins but if I have to I will lol and also which one should I put in my 30 gal which tank would have them growing faster the 240gal with othere fish or the 30 gal alone I won't make female to frow the fastest
Man it sucks they don't get along. You should have gotten a group because getting only two greatly reduced your chance of getting a pair. You could divide the tank or separate the more aggressive one to the small tank for now. Maybe give them some time away from one another for a bit and try them again. There's no magic potion unfortunately you have to get lucky.
I say divide them for a couple weeks or so.. might even wait until the female is coloring up then try re-introduce them again. Yes by getting only two does reduce your possibility of obtaining a pair but by being patient and working the divider only pulling while your able to supervise will help you increase your chances of pairing them out plus keeping them alive
