i have seen good parents and this male wasnt one
the female didnt think so either
and to avoid any problems i removed him she seemed to relax

when she freaks out she really freaks out
looks and sounds like a ping pong ball bouncing of the sides of the tank

Flat Rock, Mi
I would take her out and rearrange the whole tank then add them both at the same time...
