I just put my female Turquoise bow in with a turquoise male. She's been sick--twitching and shimmying, and just finished a 10 day treatment with Maracyn and Maracyn 2. She's back to normal now. They are in a 20 gal high, water parameters all good. A-0 N-0 Nitrates 5-10. There are also male guppies, otos and Kuhli loaches in there, but it's not overstocked.
They got along fine at first but after a couple of hours he started chasing her, and hasn't stopped except for a minute here and there since! This has been going on for 3 hours. Doesn't look like he's nipping her, and no fin damge, but he won't leave her alone! I have no bushy, tall plants for her to hide in. Just shorter plants. Should I remove her (I feel he might be stressing her out) or get some tall, busy fake plants for her to hide in? I don't know if this is normal behavior, or if he might stress her out badly.
