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.
 
just wait. He will get it. Mike has a HUGE female leo. And he has his males flip them up. So your guy can do it. Just needs to learn how to get her
 
3. Sell them to Mike...(just kidding)

Personaly I think this is your only option Tim what are you waiting for lol. My female leo is big the male has no chance of flipping her over but he still gets the job done. Give it some more time and hope for the best.
 
might just take alot of time.... i keep hinting to mike to play some barry white arround his P14s to help set the mood...

I really hope so Mike.

Even if I wanted to sell her....Which I never would shipping her would be next to impossible. I would have to silicone a Uhaul
 
Thanks guys.

So I have Barry White, a bottle of red Prime and a computer with stingray porn playing and I will hook my buddy up with some duck weed for the little lady
.........

I will let you know how this turns out.
