Grizzly Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I got a pair of young Apistogramma Hongsloi reds shipped yesterday and have noticed the female chases the male around a lot. Is this normal behavior? I don’t think it’s a breeding thing yet since I just got them but not sure. It doesn’t seem to actually nip at him just chase. Any ideas?

anewbie Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 If they are sub adult i wouldn't worry. She might be trying to drive him away looking for a mature male but it shouldn't be a big deal. It helps if the aquarium is well scape. Also if you plain to breed them they will require ph below 6.5 and relatively soft water - they can lay eggs in other conditions but the eggs won't hatch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
