Ryan yes there really has to be a size difference and yes of more than an inch. I mean the female should be big and the new male should be small. Yes for sure they should be bagged seperately and the male always needs places to hide. My maroons were very close however the female would every once in a while show him who wears the skirt and he'd be back at her side in a few seconds. She'd bring him food etc and be super sweet but then bang again. Like I say their natural bullies but if the size difference is enough the male wont try to stand up to the female, she'll give him a bruising and he'll be there for her when she's ready. (sounds sadly familiar.... but I regress)...
