[chrisandmarie]

i have put my convicts in a 4ft tank on there own and since they been in it the male has started chasing the female around they then go behind the ship and the female comes out then the male he then leaves her alone for a couple of mins then chases her again.on one side of her shes going quite dark orange

does this look like constant aggresion, as cichlids look aggressive and can end up bashed about during mating, does he constantly chase her everytime she shows her face

well he chases her then they go behind the ship then hell chase her again but shes looking quite orange on one side and her top fin is going darker

when they do this does he persue her relentlessly?
Do the look like they kiss,a tug of war with mouth's?
