i have to RES in one tank. they currently have two rocks, but when the girl (Reggie) is on there, the boy (Tito) always seems to be biting her. he is always being a little bit more agressive then he normally is to her in the water while she is swimming? any ideas..

Well maybe hes upset that shes getting into his "swimming/basking space" how big is the enclosure you are currently keeping them in? If it continues you might have to seperate them for her own saftey.

that might be the case... if the tank is too small.... they muight start scrappin'.... and that wouldnt be good...... if its a big tank.. mabey they are just being territorial... paco snaps at anything that resebles a turtle in his tank... hmmmm.... just keep an eye on em... if it continues... separate them
