So I bought two females for my male. Immediately he tried to start courting them, but they wanted none of it. It got a little crazy a few times, but it always ended, they were just threats. All was fine for the rest of the night, I woke up to some loud clacking and they were going at it like crazy. Wouldn't be surprised if one of then tagged the other. They're in deli cups inside of the tank right now, not sure if it was male x female or the two females.
I cleared all hides from the tank for now so they dont get territorial over anything, should I just put them back in? They have about 6-7 inches to burrow.
I just want to start a colony finally... My other female who I suspect is gravid tried to kill the male the moment I introduced them. I figured since these two were together with other adults already they wouldn't get aggressive, but I thought wrong. Perhaps after a meal tomorrow they will behave?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
