German Blue Ram Male Acting Strange Towards Female Gbr

[imzkola]

Hi All,

I have had my male german blue ram for almost one month. two days ago I introduced a female german blue ram. Since then my male has beeen acting very strange, everytime the female GBR aproaches him, he faces his back to her and turns almost vertical with his head facing down and does a funny shake.

Is this mating behaviour or is it more a terrotorial thing?

i have uploaded some pics

Would appreciate any advice.

thanks in advance

ROFL, Maybe he is just shy.

The shaking is normal for the situation. But I have never see my GBR go face down when his girl comes around. He normally starts chasing her.

Ive had GBR's breed before but i have never seen anything like this. TBH the male seems rather stressed by it all now and just acting all strange in one corner. the female will just watch him and she has been going over and flicking on the sand around him only. I hope she hasnt got some sort of parasites. Ive only had her two days and i did not quarantine!
