I find that the reported observations are true. The female guards the eggs and the male is kept 6-12" away patrolling. Also, these fish are highly aggressive towards their own species and even a mated pair will, at times, 'not appreciate each other's company'. A long tank is great because it affords distance that they will sometimes prefer.
And as for all fish that get 10", the younger they are the smaller the tank can be.
