I have a 7" female green severum that's constantly being chased by a 5" male(looks like). I'm just a bit concerned because they are in a 240g but the male looks for the female and chases it around.

There are three other severums: 6" gold severum 3" gold severum and 3" red streak severum. The gold severum seldom bothers our blood parrots: biggest one is 6" and the other two are about 4.5" - so 3 total.

There are 3 schools in the tank: giant danios, black skirt tetras, and buenos aires tetras.

The tank has sand substrate with big river rocks to make some caves. Fake plants are in there also, ranging from tall to small for some cover.

Any advice please:nilly:
 
I don't think anyone can say for sure but I would believe it is aggression until she pairs up with him. Keep a wtahc on them.
