Hi,
I have 2 five year old RES - 1 M and 1F. They have always gotten along, until lately the male is constantly harassing the female . .biting her tail and feet. He will stop for periods of time and then harass her again. I have separated them by putting him in my bathtub for a few hours and then she almost seems to miss him by swimming frantically around the tank. They have been together since day 1 and he is actually a good 3 inches smaller than her. Not sure what to do . . please help.

Separate the turtles and give each his/her own setup.
