Well after conditioning for 2 weeks, (the female dark, eggy and vertical bars always showing, the male flaring nest building etc)
I decided that his nest was a goodun and they were both ready. So I released her into the tank and all looked good, they swam side by side, flared and she swam to the nest without any persuasion.... then it went tits up. I'm guessing she didn't like the nest, she instantly went about popping it.. which in turn made the male 'annoyed' to put it politely and he went about chasing and trying to rip her apart. So out she came, back into her sorority tank, recovering from a few nips
So once they both recover I'll start conditioning again. What can I do to stop this from happening again?
Btw this was Steel and the cambodian male.
