paradise fish update

The female's head is healed. She is very interested in Perry- emphatically tries to swim at him through the glass, so much I worry she may break her face. I can't tell if she's just eager to be with him, or wants to attack.
He alternates between calmly eyeing her
and flaring his gorgeous tail
Of the two he certainly seems less aggressive, but I will have a divider and a net handy, and keep the 10 cycled and running, in case I do need to separate them (which would be such a shame, after all the effort). Their intended home, the 33 long, is still cycling- high on nitrites. Plants are growing back, though!
