I used to keep a trio of Henlei. Since the one female has died I just keep the pair in my 7x42x30 tank. I also keep a pair of small pearls in there.
Problem being is that the female is massive. (pushing 30 inches) and the male is probably 18. He tries constantly to mate with her but she just literally suctions herself against the wall and he has no shot at getting her off. I need some stimulation for her to want to breed.
Would I be best to:
1. leave it the way it is
2. put my mature pair (or even just the female) of marble motoros in there so if nothing else my male has something to breed with.
3. Sell them to Mike...(just kidding)
The male is good to go but him against her she is going to own him every time.
