Maybe she is just tired of him not doing his job, I dont know but they both take it in turns fighting each other and then in an instant snap out of it and return to guard the eggs. wierd First they face off- flicking themselves at each other. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3176/2347789931_c0483234e3_m.jpg then the female flicks to 45 deg or even horizontal and lunges at the males mouth. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3138/2347789939_eca525b17e_m.jpg then the grapple is on! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2347789935_f5db0fca1a_m.jpg The male is getting a few marks on his lips and they aint lovers hickies. Might need to seperate them until the chill off? My 5footer http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2242540621_1a81dcb3c8.jpg

Sounds like normal angel behaviour, but also I don't know what causes it. It seems they fight for no reason ? My guess is if they were like mine, they're domestic bred and the parenting skills aren't honed yet. Give them some more time and they should be ok I'd be curious to see other's thoughts on this too.

The disturbing thing was that he mentioned that they no longer spawn as well. As if it were a true divorce situation ;( we shall see.

But boy did she make a mess of his lips. A few days on tho and its all healing nicely (malafix added)so no long term problems I hope.
