just an update. so i appreciate all the help you guys gave me. i was planning to go to the lfs and see if they had some tinfoil barbs or silver dollars, but before i left i noticed that the male was on the female side of the tank and that they were swimming together and she wasnt attackin him like the night before. so i gave a couple days and now i have taken the divider out and all seems well. they are swimming together and getting along great. do you think this means that they have paired up? i feel like a noob but i have never tried to pair up fish in the 8 years ive been in the hobby. should i still go and get some other fish to put in there or just leave em be. thanks guys!!!!
