females running away

inthepacific · 02-06-2013, 08:30 PM

is it normal for females to runaway from males? one of my females just molted and the males are going crazy and every time they find her, she darts away. just wondering what the reason could be

**ravensgate** · 02-06-2013, 08:48 PM

normal

If you were a female and had 20 horny guys trying to chase you down, wouldn't you run too? lol.

She's going to be "berried" soon. Congrats!

i've watched like 5 males attack a female for like 10 mins straight to the point where i thought the female was gonna die. she just got berried later. who knows who the father is... haha

Lol. You could add more males. Maybe that guy didn't fit her taste

o haha looks like you were right, she did end up getting berried. i was worried because she's one of the adults i recently purchased and two of them died after molting for some reason. so im happy to see that this one is berried. also her berries are green which is a first for me. but yay more berries!

Getting out of the tank is an issue not germane to molting problems. I'd check your water quality.

And the running is playing hard to get :P

+1 Water params if they are trying to get out of the tank
