In the shop we have a bigg 20-22" Disc female constellata. And we have a few rays and other bits in there including 2 marble motoro one around 14" Disc the other 16". And they keep trying to breed with her!

They do get very rough bit he disk very agressivly and go and bite her back end. But i think theres the chance that she could spine them. Shes never breed before. She used to live with 2 big female motoro, a big female marble and a male marble. And the big marble male got all the other pregnant but never her and they lived together for a good few years..

So i think that theres not much chance of her doing much with these males. I think that she could end up spiking them.

Would you move them out?
 
If they are starting to tear her up I would move them. Those males must be desperate to play with her and all her spikes.
 
Bruce- In order to maintain a family forum, we ask that you use the term "High propensity for breeding behavior" rather than "horny".

my female stabbed both of my male's not so long ago, didnt seem to bother them too much, as long as they are not wrecking her id let them get on with it for a while. they are in a decent sized tank arnt they, maybe make a divider just incase things get a bit heated. how much are the males up for?
 
Like stated keep divider handy, otherwise let them do their thing if they want/can.
I always liked that constellata, wish they were available over here.
 
I like the name of this thread! LOL!
If she doesn't get hurt, I wouldn't bother.
