I have a male/female pair of Trichopsis pumila in a 12l nano. No other tank mates (apart from a couple of shrimp I haven't managed to catch and some snails). For the first couple of weeks they seemed pretty happy, with the male following the female around as they explored the tank. There was even some croaking and possible mating behaviour going on.
Now, however, the female is constantly hiding under the hardscape because if she emerges she is chased and attacked by the male. Pretty much relentlessly.
Anything I can do to reduce the aggression or is this tank just too small for two of these fish?
