Absolutely beautiful! I am kind of curious about one thing though, what is the point of the divider if he can still get through it and go after the female?

lol the divider is a pretty funny story. i originally had it set up for pairing them out. They established their own sides during pairing and her side is her safe zone. he'll just chase her over there when he wants alone time but never beats on her. its kinda like her cave. about 6 weeks ago i got sick of the divider and pulled it. after that she looked as if she had no safe zone and hid at top of the tank even tho he didnt do anything to her. so i put it back in and they went right back to normal behavior and breeding.

the hole is large enought for both to pass freely since i cant make one small enough just for her without him tryin to get thru plus when or if the crap hit the fan i wanted her to be able to retreat without cutting herself. it has a door i can pull up with fishing line attatched to separate if needed and all i have to do is lift the lid and they chill immediately then ill usher either one back to their respectable sides for a time out. im guessing its a psycological thing for them lol.

That's pretty cool. As long as it keeps the fish happy that is all that really matters and it is obvious that they are happy.
