I have a pair of Taeniacara candidi and they have been living peacefully with each other and other 8 Spotted blue-eye in a 5 gallon small tank.
Today I noticed my male Taeniacara candidi was attacked by the female and then I notice she laid many eggs under the leaf.
I was not expecting to see such aggressive behaviors from the female towards the male, I thought they will raise fry together? They used to share the same space and now the male is not allowed to get closer to eggs.
I divided my fish tank so the female can get a quiet space.
My question is do female Taeniacara always that aggressive towards the male? And it seems like the male wants to get closer the protect eggs from other fish but the female is really aggressive towards any fish. One of my ghost shrimp died and I really think it was the female who did this.
