    lol guess they like to keep their home clean :D

    yea the male twitches all the time because he is constantly harrassed by the female, but she just does this on her own

    My true percs both do this often as well. However, right before they lay a batch of eggs they do it A LOT.

    lol, I'm pretty sure mine like it rough too. Sometimes they'll both be sitting in my RBTA, and for no reason at all the female starts beating the crap out of the male and chasing him all over.

    You should see her go to town on my fingers and hand any time I get close to their RBTA. Little *****. lol.
