    Default frogs fighting

    I have two bombina, a large light green male named Kermit and a darker smaller male named Scooter. Recently I bought a light brown European male which I named Copper and a smaller female.
    Copper is roughly the same size as Scooter but he tackles on top of him and sometimes pushes him under water doing this.

    Is there much of a way to get around this besides separation? Anything I can put in there or do?

    Hello Robbie,you could possibly have the toads in a terrestrial setup with a large water bowl, this will give scooter a break from copper, they are fighting due to dominance or copper has mistaken scooter for a female. If scooter is still eating and looks healthy, he should be ok, but otherwise... try the terrestrial setup

    Thanks. Now Kermit, the large Asian male is doing this sometimes to Copper. And he also starting doing this to Copper. (Copper seems to be everyone's b****). He refuses to let go of him once he has him and they go all around the pool. I already spent $200 on a tank setup for them. They only made one attempt on the female (Deedee).
