First time Apisto owner-normal courting behavior?

Like the title says, I'm new to Apistos. My male has been chasing my female around a little bit here and there. She's not showing any injuries, and has plenty of hiding spaces when needed. She is the only female, since I got them as a pair.

I read that the male does tend to chase the female as a way of courting her, but I wanted to double check to be sure this is the behavior I'm seeing here.

They're in a 75 gallon tank with ember and gold tetras, CPD's, and Kuhli loaches. I have had these Apistos for a little over a month now, and this behavior only started in the last week.
