Question
Thank-you for answering my questions before. I have a new one. I have 4 Borleyi's 2 males and 2 females. Two of them I just bought (I thought they were both females) The new male chases both females while the male (who is about 2 inches bigger than the new male) hides and sometimes comes out and chases my Steveni Taiwan but rarely gives notice to the females. I would like them two breed what should I do? Or should I just leave them alone?

Answer
Hi David,
 The breeding part is entirely up to them so I think you should just give them time.  You cannot MAKE them breed; you can only make it so that they might decide to breed.
