Alright, so ive been keeping this green wolf eel for about 6 months, and after reading up on them i determined i had a female. So the other day i ordered a male and few days later it came in. After acclimation I released him to his new home. Almost immediately the original went up to him and started vibrating her whole body next to him, and giving him what seemed to be love bites. I was like ok this is a good sign.
I went to dallas for the weekend and when i checked on them this morning, she is chasing him a ton, and doing the vibrating / pulsating thing more than ever. She also clamped down on his head a couple times and then i was like uh oh this isnt good.
So now im worried i have two of the same sex or she is just to big for him. She is about 12" and he is about 8". My goal was to hopefully get me some fry, but now im a little concerned about the males well being. Does anyone know if the vibrating thing is a dominance action or is it actually a breeding type action?
Thanks!
