Has anyone noticed this before? I have a dominant male that sits on a log under the light in my tank. Two females sit on there with him. When another male approaches he hisses at him, feels him up with his feelers then tries to mate with him. It's kind of funny to watch. I used to have a tank of all males that would do this and I assumed it was a lack of females that caused them to do it, but this guy has plenty of ladies around. Maybe that's just what they do when hissing and head butting doesn't work. The other male did take off after that. lol.
