Aggression question

[Frank Castle]

I've never had success adding hiding spaces. Only removing the aggressor works IME. Notice in the video they are all hanging out together. They aren't claiming a territory. They are a social species where it's best to keep male w/ a bunch of females.

yes, but females tend to be much nastier than males and even more considerably so when there is no male present, IME. Adding 1 male would likely fix her issue

I have begun searching for a male. I'm a little worried I'll mess up the sexing and end up with another female though!

just order from a reliable breeder and tell them you need a guaranteed male. Have you tried Jeff Rapps?
