i put one of my males with my female(she is def. female). she started to footstomp/blackbeard and headbob back at my boy. He attempted to breed and she just bit him back. My boy then started to wiggle his tail and snap at her. I seperated them immediately after he snapped. This was when i put the male in the females enclosure. should i try the opposite?

Im not expert but mating is a very harsh and violet process. If she snapped at him first it could mean she isnt ready or just dosnt like him!

Try putting them in a communal area, where neither will feel the need to protect territory. Have you got everything set up for the eggs?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
