They do this...especially if they have never been exposed to another leo...honestly...LEAVE HIM IN THE TANK WITH THE OTHER LEOS!

Give them extra hiding spots...and monitor them for the first hour or so...he might shake his tail and lunge at them...if he bites a tail or leg get your hand in there to scare him off and get him to let go but don't remove him...

I've had this too...they get used to each other very quickly...

Don't panic if they have a little scrap...it's honestly note that uncommon...also I would recommend seperating them for feeding...

GOOD LUCK!

Yes, This is normal for a male to shake his tail, Then bite the female, Either on the tail, Neck ect... This is the males way of expressing his intent to breed... Sometimes the female just drags the male around for a while, Sometimes the female may even bite the male back... Its all a part of thier breeding process. Do not worry, Just monitor them from a distance.
