Initial stage of putting the pair in 1 tank, the male was chasing the female aggressively. After about a month or so, the aggression went down. Now they are happily in the tank with no tankmates. Had killed all tankmate put in the tank.

You can try to put the female into breeding box inside the tank. Let them get used to each other..

Sorry to be the one to ask the stupid question, but are you sure they're different sexes and not two females? I'm not too familiar with that species so forgive the question!

I has a male and female who joined together to kill another male. The extra female was quickly removed, in rather rough shape, before they killed her. After that, nothing. They lived together peacefully, displayed a bit, but never spawned in the 3+ years they lived together. Friends but not lovers, I guess.
