they are detritus feeders. not a high protein diet, unless, like you have lot of it. I feed mine high protein. but whatever. also it will be good to have some 'dithers' It will help cement the bond, and they won't pick on each other, but pick on the 'dithers'. Give a cave for breeding, plants and rocks for territories.
Edit: the female, at the surface, may be getting picked on by the male. just a thought.
