I've had a pair of Red Chromides for a year now. They hit it off in an instant and have been knocking out clutches of eggs on a regular basis for the past 8 months.
They've made home in one corner of the tank that I set up for them using bog wood and plants and have happily resided there since I got them. They've been thick as theives from day one but of late things seem to change when the lights go off.
Once the aquarium lights go off the male seems to be upset with the female and won't let her stay in that corner of the aquarium. If she tries to enter their home the male chases her away and won't let her back in!
What makes it even more strange is that a new batch of eggs has only just been laid but she's still kicked out once the lights go out. While the lights are on however they're the consumate loving couple! This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and i'm at a bit of a loss as to what's happening.
There are no other Red Chromides in the tank either.
Anyone got any ideas?
