So you have to triggers?

Is the female beating on your male?

No, I got them at the same time and they usually hang out together. The female is in good shape but the male only swims around with his pectoral fins while the female swims with all of her fins. Could ich be the cause of this? I have noticed some questionable spots on him but nothing crazy.

Thanks for your replies
Cam
