I am new here to MFK since I normally stay on AquariaCentral mostly for my information and well PlecoFanatics. I have a question and need a solution so gonna post here as well.
I purchased 2 loisellei's from Jeff Rapps bout ummm 2 months ago and they are doing fine except the male is really aggressive toward the female. They currently live in a 55gal I was told to put some more hiding spots so I did that but male follows her. Which made me try different decorations and now got real plants some driftwood in there. Was told try adding dither fish like Giant Danios did that my loisellei's were lip locking for bout an hour then stopped.
Here is the problem when I got home from work I saw the female still behind a rock which is where she swam to after the lip locking stopped. Now when she shows her face the male chases her all around the tank. They have been ignoring the Danios. Oh was told add a terra cotta pot so did that and the male calls it home but female isnt aloud to show her face still.
I know I need to upgrade my tank size I found a 125gal for them I just need to make room in my room cuz I got the money for it already. There currently bout 4-5" each thats a guesstimate though. Ammonia is 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 10-20ppm Ph 7.4-7.6 I do weekly water changes of bout 40-50%. Its the 2 loisellei's and 6 Giant Danios. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
