    Nope... can't find any... been searching the whole morning

    Anyway, here's the latest update:

    1) She flared at him outside his hideout's entrance (and back entrance).

    2) She entered and forced him out occasionally.

    3) The male finally came out of his sxxxhole and flared back.

    4) After several rounds of flaring and mount-to-mouth pecking (doesn't look like kiss to me), the female turned passive!!!

    5) The male now swims around cornering the female... she doesn't flare back anymore. She has been conquered

    Fascinating creatures!!!

    Some pix taken to complete the story

    First of all... here's a partially completed scape... I call it the BARREN



    In the morning, the male specimen was hiding underneath the lava rock



    I was very worried... and found the female flaring at him non-stop.



    At around noon time... the male finally came out to the open and flared back



    They had a few head-on collisions

    I think the female is doing a submitting flare to the male. Probably the male is first timer! Give them sometime! It will work out!
