recently purchased a male for my female jag..they are both similar size with the male being fractionally bigger..there was at first more aggression from the female understandably as it was her tank!..but now I thought things had calmed down but have noticed the female hiding a fair bit and her tail fin is shredded in places.. The male certainly seems to be acting a lot bolder but tbh they are both quite shy hiding away alot...they are in a 5x2x2 tank with lots of rocks hides etc..should I take her out or see how they go?I tried some dither fish in there,6 tiger barbs,which helped with their shyness but they only lasted 2 days!
Seperate or not?

I'd go for a divider for now if she is getting quite a beating. I've found out the hard way that conspecific aggression among jags can be pretty nasty and have lost two that way.
Thanks for the reply..she gives as good as she gets and it must happen at night as they have hardly fought at all today but as I said her tail is shredded in places..
