Probably keep the name Ari (was calling him that for short instead of Ariana anyway)
At what size do males become sexually mature? Do you think he will be ok with Tyler for a while, he followed Lilly earlier but she weren't having any of it lol x

Well I know that my male is 11cm and he is getting randy (but being very gentle with Amber still so they are still together and getting on fine despite the occasional harassment!)

I have heard 4 inches/10cm is the time they start mating behaviour, not sure if they would be fertile eggs though.

that is what I am doing really, I have seen some biting but it was quite gentle, and Amber is fine still eating, still even following Misha about so she is clearly ok... was only gentle nips also he is good at the "no means no!" and just marches about after! Amber is smaller only 10cm so I am a fair way off expecting to find any eggs!

A male needs to be almost 5 inches SCL before he can get the job done properly

So between 10cm - 13cm then, I'll keep a close eye on him from now on, he only started this behaviour a few weeks ago, but steadily over the weeks it's more often lol
Gordon your boy matured early oh no lol x

yeah I think for me it is not so much how much Misha pesters Amber but how she reacts, if she seems bothered I will separate them but she is just fine for now! and she loves to follow him!
