I recently introduced a new Agassizii female to my 10 gallon tank after losing my original female about a month ago. This new female is much more juvenile in appearance than the original female . She has been in the tank for over 2 weeks and is still very drab olive in colour and is still getting bullied by my male who attacks her on sight, except for a few occasions when he is distracted by food. She is extremely timid and is rarely seen moving from the safety of her coconut cave or almond leaves which she seeks refuge under. I have noticed that occasionally after a large water change she will appear more yellow but of course this could be the tannins being diluted with the fresh water and merely my imagination. I guess my question is - if she is a juvenile and as such not ready to spawn yet will this create a situation where the male will constantly try and chase her from his territory as an unsuitable intruder?
