Hi,
I acquired this pair from the Wet Spot a few months ago. At first I could not keep them in the same tank together. The female was beating up on the male relentlessly. So he spent about 3 weeks in his own tank. I tried re-uniting them and it was the same deal again. She was really able to chase him around. So I moved him back to his own tank for another two weeks. Then about 4 days ago I re-introduced him to the tank with a separator to keep her away from him. Over the weekend he figured out how to get through because he was really interested in her. Yesterday I observed lots of mating behavior, and today I actually caught the male and female together in a flower pot I placed in the tank laying their first egg.
Just wanted to share and ask, when should re-install the separator?
Thanks.
César
