actually, its not a good idea for the female to be bigger. i breed and have friends that breed in diff countries and they also had the same experience and out come of this. the male should always, if not by just a little bit, be bigger than the female. If the female is larger it makes it difficult for the male to embrace and wrap himself around her for the matting process, making it extremely stress full for the both! and theres also the chance of your female actually harrassing him, when he has to show the dominance in the tank for the spawning process!
