my male and female ram fish are in same tank(10g)..when I first introduce them to the tank..they fight until the female fin rip off..but not so badly..now they only peck when they saw each other..then ignore each other..no sign off stress between the 2 ram..both swim normally..

I'm not sure what type of rams you have, but I don't think there are any types that can be kept in a 10 gallon. You may be seeing aggression because they are in such a confined space.

They need a bigger tank, should even out aggression.

the female ram dominate the tank..the female ram chase the male when it sees the male..both still swim normally..normal colour..no sign of stress or illness..I will observe for 1 week..if it get serious I will remove the female to another tank..see if they can get along each other..I have a question..why the female ram behavior change when I turn off the light..is become more aggressive to the male..(dun wory the male will hide in the plant when the female chase it)..

I don't think one ram is even okay in a 10 gallon. Even if the male is hiding when the female is chasing him, he's surely very stressed by the situation - dealing with aggression, too small of a tank, and likely poor water quality (as is common in an overstocked tank). I would suggest either upgrading to a larger tank if possible, or rehoming them.

I will replace them in my 4ft tank as soon as I buy larger tank for my arowana..
