I used to feel sorry for Big Daddy, he could never get Beaker to notice him. Now I feel bad for the Beakster, she can't seem to get away from him!


Image

Here's an example of what goes on, day in, day out:

B.D.: "flutter-flutter."
Beaker: "Not now, B.D., I have to go dig in the rocks!"

Image

5 minutes later.....

B.D.: "Hey sweetheart, hows about you and me head over to the pipe for a little one on one?"
Beaker: "Not now, B.D., can't you see I'm busy?"

Image

5 minutes later.....

B.D.: "flutter flutter."
Beaker: "Look buster, if you want to keep those claws, you better knock it off!"
B.D.: "Gulp."

Image

5 minutes later....

B.D.: "Look Beaks! I'm swimming sideways! I'm swimming sideways!"
Beaker: "Sigh. I'm going basking."
B.D.: "Can I come?"
Beaker: "NO!!!!"

Image

And so it goes.....

Meanwhile, in the 55 gallon tank, little Gomie is having a very nice time of it, dining on the patio.....

rotfl! That is so funny! Cute pics and "voice-overs". My male was obsessed with the female for a few weeks back in March, doing the fluttering, swimming all around her checking out every inch of her body, etc. It was pretty comical. Especially since he is only half her size.

B.D. has been pretty well behaved so far. :) Not being too agressive. He's like a little puppy dog, following her around, trying to get noticed. You can tell from their body langauge what's really going on, LOL!

Ya that's the way my guy was too. :lol: That's why I didn't worry too much cause he was being a "gentleman" about it. Also she could defend herself pretty well if she had to.

Well, Gomez is a girl also, I've been keeping her in a separate tank since she developed S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). But she is slowly coming around, and I have been wondering how much the tank dynamic would change if I put her back in the big tank with Beaker and B.D. .....Would Beaker get jealous? Would B.D. have a nervous breakdown?
