fighting
ok so i wanted to put my male and female together so i dont have so many tanks in my room. last night i put the male in the females tank and the female in the males tank. someone told me to do this so they can smell eachother. well today i went to put the male back into his tank and the female didnt move at all (shes albino, and does this allot when i go near her) then he went up to her and she nipped him on the head. and then they both snapped at eachother and bit eachother and didnt let go, then they went in a "death roll" and they probally did that for a few seconds before i intervened. what is up with this. is this normal because i think the male now has a cut on his head( might be sand) i separated them and put them back into their normal tanks.
i know the one is male because i see his licking his "thing" every once in a while
and im guessing the albino is a girl because i have not seen her do this.
can anyone tell me what just went on? the male is about 2 and a half years old and the "female" is about a year and a half.
any info greatly appreciated
thanks
Jim
