the dempsey that i rescued was looking so good that today when i cleaned the tanks i decided to put her in with the community south/central americans that i have. also have two dempseys in there now. both of the dempseys in there are males. one is about a year old and the other is about two years old. everything seemed to be fine. just went down there and the older male has her beat up again. she is a larger female. probably about 1 1/2 to 2 years of age. i don't think she is ready to mate and the older male is. he doesn't beat up on anything else.
so here is the million dollar question. how can i introduce the female without the male pummeling her. could i condition her for breeding and then when she is ready reintroduce her back in the tank? i have her back in the hospital tank to let her heal. she is covered in bite marks and her fins are all nipped.
