So, they are right now in the tank together.

The funny thing is the female took charge :roll: She has been dancing, and following him around (no nipping). Finally he decided to be the man and is taking control xD Both are first timers, so it will probably take longer. There's a lot of showing off from both sides, and no nipping yet.

I've just never seen any of my pairs chill together xD it's funny, though.

It's hard finding any CT females here. Or DT. Or DeT. Or HM.

This time instead of blocking off the sight they have of the outside world at water level, I blocked off all sides of the tank. I also, showed the male the mirror and he is ready again to start wooing her. They were just fed again, thawed bloodworms.

I also removed the hidey spot (for the day), encouraging him to give chase to her more, and it has worked. She has yet to fully submit though x.x

Well, let's put it this way... The bubble nest is no more, and they are living together in harmony o_o What. The. Heck. Seriously. Never had this happen. Both are content, swimming around together, no panicking, no fighting, nothing. Not even a torn fin. :roll: I may need to re-condition, or even use my experienced breeders to teach them -_-

I decided, to put up a divider to shorten the range of space that they have. I also introduced another male on the other side of the divider, and also borrowed a male's bubble nest (he had about 3 inches to spare lol). Since borrowing a nest last time worked, I figure it aught to boost something here. I also did a water change, adding in cooler water.

Edit: It seems to be working for the male. Every time he sees the female he has danced, flared, or chased her.

It worked last time xD Got Ares to build upon it and pursue the female more. Resulted in my 233 fry :lol:

Now, he is chasing the female a lot more. He is also building on the nest, which is great. She has no way of hiding all the way across the tank, since I left the divider in. Hopefully this works!!

I only have my bearded dragon. And he may have parasites. Long story short: Had to give everything up and start from scratch due to an unfortunate circumstance.

Thanks. I think he will :) Just need to get a fecal test done, then if he needs meds he'll get it.

So, no spawn yet. I'm thinking I may need to recondition, and do it a tad differently (a lot more exercise with the mirror, for instance). At least with my last spawn I can tell the gender of about 50 jarred.

Due to certain circumstances, I will say that you can follow the progress of any and all spawn logs on

There will also be a "for sale" page here soon, so that you may be able to look, put on hold, buy, etc.
