One of my female opalines have just got very aggressive. Should i think of removing her??? She was always a little aggressive but calmed down and now is niping fins. I have remodeled half the tank to see if it would calm things down but it hasn't.

Im thinking it might be causing a bit of stress to my other opaline as she never gets to rest and the male pearl is now getting nipped alot too.

Thanks
 
Are you certain 'she' is female?
If you've tried breaking up territory and don't want to risk adding even more gourami to try and break up the aggression then that is pretty much the only option asides from a tank-divider.
Realistically its not worth losing other fish through physical damage/immuno-suppression related ilness due to stress/secondary infections, even if you've got affection for the aggressive fish in question. In my miniscule fish-keeping experience some fish are insatible when it comes to violence.

Now i have no danio's we could get another gourami. or another species. Would you recomend a male opaline? or another species if so what.
