Love hurts.....Ouch. - Monday, July 11, 2011 3:05 PM

Went out to feed the fish tonight and found my male tight in a corner at the top of the tank. I even moved him with my finger but he was so traumatised he didn't even notice. She is gravid and he obviously isn't doing enough!
This is the second time in about three months she has done this to him.

Will leave him in the net tonight and see how he is in the morning.

He was truly battered. Have another which I have put in the breeder net to see how she reacts. Not very hopeful though, she's a real bully.
