Now I have fixed the 120l... But I didn't wanna fill it completely because of the table..
There's about 50l for her.
I'm hoping to move her to night...
She's not gonna die in my house

I don't wanna have the water on the floor... If there's water (more than 30l) on the floor I'm dead
The female is tired now and the male is never tired! He's just looking for her all the time...
So I'm hoping that the tank is ready soon!

The table is walrus!
But I just can't wait for the table that my stepfather is going to make...

Should be plenty of water for her in there Taly. What you are describing is exactly what happened to me, when the femal isnt exhausted she can hold her own but the exhaustion seems to be the key factor in her not being able to repel the male and like you said he never gets tired and never stops, a bit like the Terminator.

Yes... But when she stops he doesn't hurt her at all!
He just shows himself for her...
I started laughing because he was so cute ;P
He's really in love!
But she can't handle the male alone so she's going out!

That is different to mine then as she lost her right pectoral fin, half of her tail and a chunk out of her side. She was a little battler though, she hung on for a day before she lost the fight.

I admit to having flicked a fish that was being a phallus to tankmates... I don't feel good about it, but I admit it.

Now I can't find the female! And I'm not sure that I want to remove the wood and drag her out...

I got her into the 120l
She looks more happy now... Very active!
But I'm feeling a Little bit sorry for the male... He's looking for his girlfriend
And I'm hoping to give him the good news later (that he's going to get 2 more female)
But you never know...

The latest news:
The female is no longer active and looks unhappy
It's the same with the male...
I'm thinking about moving them together again... Since he didn't hurt her maybe it will work out fine?

There's about 50l for her.
