Put the male in every couple weeks for 3-4 days and if you see a lock then take him out after they are done. The other schedule I mentioned was if you have a male circling a few females. There isn't a need to overwork your male on one girl.

Thanks, does the fact they are in enclosures only 18" from another increase the likelihood the male has a "presence" she senses, even though not in the same tank. IE She smells him close, so the produces follicles?
