i forgot to add the fact that these pics were taken right as i put the male in the tank. they fought for about an hour, then they rested, then they were swimming around alot but not fighting. he messed up her long streamers and her tail. she kicked some butt too, but they were getting along better. he is a stud. she should be ready to lay eggs because she hasn't for a long time. he convinced my bp to lay three batches of eggs all with barely 2 weeks in between.
