So I have a male and female dovii both about 6 inches. They got along for a few days then the female went ape **** on my male took some fins and left a gash. He is healed up now and I have them separated with light defuser. I figured since the male is not aggressive with the female I just need him to be bigger than her for this to work. So what could I do to get him to out grow her as far as feeding or water changes. And recently my female is showing alot more blue idk if that means anything. And last what is the best temp to keep the tank for dovii?
Need dovii advice

It's 80 gallon. I'm having a new tank built but it's gonna be awhile longer b4 it's ready. And I guess they were fighting at night cuz they hide all day
Not gonna do that it's hard to get big dovii her I paid 80 dollars for her. But what I can do is put them in 2 different tanks. My sister has a 75 gallon tank she said I could keep. So I could separate them pretty soon just need to setup and get it cycled. I was thinking about doing it already just didn't want to keep them apart if I didn't have to 
Agreed, I'm of the school of thought that Dovii's should be housed in a 500-600 gallon minimum.
300 gallon I don't remember the exact measurements. 500 600 gallon is a bit much if they need that much tank I might rehome them both. Stick with my cons and bichir.
