I went to the fish store last week and fell in love with some apistogramma macmasteri. They called them rednecks and sold them in pairs. I googled them and I couldn't find any definitive answer about what tank size they require so I asked the manager if I could have a pair in a 25 gallon tank. He said yes they would be fine.
Well I got a male/female pair and the male has been really aggressive to the female. Any time he sees her he chases her and nips at her. She is clearly stressed. Is 25 gallons too small for 2 of these fish?
My tank is planted and has hiding places but the female can't really swim around freely because if the male sees her he will chase her. Help!!
