He is trying to breed with her...is that what you were hoping? As far as hurting,it probably does a little in normal mating,but some males can injure a female badly by dragging them around and shaking violently,sometimes knocking them against rocks and logs or the side of the tank. You should not keep them together...the females quality of life may be reduced drastically.Black beards are a sign of a male wanting to breed...in some instances a very stressed male or female[ or very ill] will display a black beard...but the males is much blacker,many times even extending to the upper chest and front legs.
