I am looking for info on what everyone experienced when trying to pair Mandarins. I added a male to my tank that has had just a female for about 7 months. I added him Saturday and did not see him that night at all. On Sunday I saw him a few times and his fins had been picked at. This morning he was in a corner by himself. He hid all day until I got home a little while ago. Here come the weird part, I look at my tank and they are really close together. I go up to my tank and see the male has bit the females back and was kind of riding her around the tank. He let go when I tapped on the tank.

Is any of this normal?
