I haven't had the time to read/post as much as I've wanted but, I'm still a loyal KS UroForum member.

So, Yesterday, Joann is in the sun room on the eliptical, and yells, "Hey, Runako os biting Roxy!" So, though I've suspected it for almost a year and denied it, I run in and sure enough, Runako is locked on to her side. the marks have been there, you guys said it was a good possiblility, but my denial was too strong...until now.

So, since I'm way over due for cage cleanings, I'll totally rearrange Rocky's tank and try to put he and Roxy together. hopefully there won't be an issue. Rocky has been a complete pleasant surprise since the day he arrived, so maybe this won't be any different. However, he does look like Woody Allen next to any other woman, in that he is colorful, but a bit small.

Hope it works. They're all great uros and I can't afford another cage

I've been there, twice. Shortly after mating season ended for my uros, Ra got territorial and started biting Isis on her flanks every time she'd approach the food bowls. Having separate bowls didn't help any. I had to separate them again this year. They'll never be able to share a tank together except during mating season. Oh well, I had the spare cage from before so I was prepared.
Sorry to hear that your uros are going through this domestic dispute too.

Seems to work for Cichlids in territorial disputes! I'm ready to introduce a proven male Ornate to a virgin female. Asked Lindsay about putting them into a "neutral" cage. His advice was that you run the risk of them checking out the new digs more than each other. Just food for thought.
Best of luck!

I actually don't want them to mate right now. That's jsut the last thing I need. I would like them to get along. I hope Rocky and Roxy get along, or I may be looking to split a cage. I don't really want to cut off their space.
