Have you checked for eggs? He is supposed to look after the eggs, but maybe she is confused if it is her first spawn.

Yes there are eggs and yes I do think she is confused and being protective. He seems to know he is suppose to care for them but is having a hard time getting too close.

Im sure it will work out eventually.

That would be my guess as well. Being a new Mommy she may not know proper protocol. Give her time and she'll probably figure it out. Either that or she's just a bitch!

Better hope that the angel is not a lawyer or all he'll is going to break loose and the angel will end up with the nem.
My black clown actually picked on her mate so bad she killed him in about a week.

Are they dramatically different in size? My couple remains happy and reproductive...producing a new batch of young every 17 days or so...but the male is less than 1/2 the size of the female.
