try posting up some clear well lit pics of the vent area on your female. none of those dark, blurry pics from 2 feet away through the glass. your "female" is probably a male. we'll help you out and make sure you've got a true pair.

To add to what Kevin said. If they are actually a pair he could be trying to breed her and she isnt having it.

Doesn't look like a pair to me. Try to separate them.

Cheers!

2 males. Who told you the second one was a female?
Females will have no spurs, no bulge, and smaller pores.

did the clerk sell it to you as a female? If so you have some leverage - it wasn't what they sold you. explain that your male is now trying to kill the "female" they sold you and that you don't have room for 2 tanks. get your parents involved and talk to a manager if you need. no reason why they can't exchange it for a real female of even just store credit.

however, if you're the one that tried sexing it and they didn't tell you what it was you're SOL
