hey, I am new to breeding cresties and my first female reached a year this month, I have tried twice to introduce her to my male but both times he has attacked her. she is slightly smaller then the male but my understanding is they should still be ok... what am i doing wrong? btw when introducing them its in a new neutral tank so its not territorial so far as i know

how much does the female weight? It isn't just the age of the female that is important but her weight. She should be at least 30g with over 35g better. Also, if the male is overly aggressive I will wait till she catches up in size as well.

What is the aggression like? Some rough "foreplay" is natural. What exactly does he do to her?

well the first time he bit her was on the side and he left wounds this time he bit her tail and wouldnt let go after about a min or so of me rubbing his fac he let go and no skin was broken but was still brutal... as soon as he sees her he jumps right after her
