So what do you think I should do?
Should I remove the divider every few days or do you have any suggestions?

I'd just watch them and they'll tell you when they're ready. It's quite easy, my 4 year old even can tell when it's time, she'll say look Papi, I see her Nana! That's when it's time. Make sure they are feeding aggressively and putting on weight before you try to breed them. If they're your pets just keep them as pets. Good Luck

That's gonna be up to you bro, your idea of aggression could be courting, my idea of courting could be seen as aggression, it's really up to how you see your fish. I know my pairs like dogs, they each have a different ritual when it comes to spawning. Let's just say Festae are one of those cichlids that are never predictable.

When I keep them together the male will attack the female and go back Into his clay pot. He tends to do this every 20min. I have a group of silver dollars and he doesn't show aggression towards them. I added a convict and he stopped chasing the female until he got tired of it and went back attacking the female.

I understand that my tank is small but the pair are also small and many people tend to breed them this size in a 55g


Also I put up the divider during the night because I don't want to wake up with a dead female.

What should I do to help them pair up?
