Other Details
Other Information:	Had a "pair" for about a year, 'til the "male" murdered his "female". Finally reestablished another seemingly compatible pair. Hoping for better luck this round. Surprised we didn't already have this species in here. To date, it's proving a difficult species to even pair up, with mates turning on each other before they ever get to spawning. I think Tyler is still the only one, and he had them in something massive.
