Hi my green terrors have bred before, and before that would lock lips and test each other. I have since put them a new tank by them selves. Before the move the female was the aggressor, now the male will not stop chasing her and biting her sides. What confuses me is normally if a fish is getting attacked for days its fins will be all tore up, but she doesn't have a scratch whatsoever. He mainly goes for her side. He doesn't spend his whole day attacking her, but when ever he passes by he starts. I am wondering if this is normal or should i remove her. She doesn't seem too stress out., and is still eating just fine.

if you notice any scratches or any damage whatsoever, take her out, he is probably just ready to breed again and she needs a little more time.
 
My male green terror always gives the female a little nip when she swims by, Im not even sure he bites her, I think he just opens his mouth and kinda rams her with it lol. There is never any damage though.

It seems a bit more cynical in my case lol
