bristlenose

Question
hi,
  i have two bristlenoses(male and female)
the female is larger than the male and keeps on chasing him whenever he comes close to her?

why does she do that and how can i fix it?

Answer
Hi Brendon,
 Chasing is perfectly normal. Like many fish, bristlenoses can be territorial.  You can't really stop it.  The more structure (wood, etc) in the tank, the less likely it is to occur.
