So after an hour or so of watching, I think my larger pair of A. rositae must be getting ready to or have just spawned very recently. The male and female are both in their best colors, and she spends most of her time in the larger apisto hut near the back of the tank. She only ventures into the immediate vicinity for food and to chase away the 3 diamond tetras. Any time the male gets within a few inches she flares, slaps him with her tail, and then chases him around the tank headbutting him.
The last bit is infrequent I should add. He appears on the surface to be unphased, as he's just lazily darting around the tank showing off his colors practically oblivious of his tank mates.
At what point should I move him? Can I put him right into the tank next door, where my other female is, or should I put him in a tank by himself?
