Hi Mac. Breeding groups, so presence of females, are a different thing altogether. Neither I would then have more than one species and preferably not more than one male. My point here was that when one has several males, for instance left from breeding groups, after females have gone, one has to...
Just for your information: in my community tank (130x50x50cm) I keep 5 Hyph. jackrobertsi, 6 Moenkhausia bonita, 3 Otocinclus vittatus, 4 male Apisto's (flabellicauda, psammophila, sp.Juruá en iniridae), until a month ago also a pair of Dicrossus filamentosus (died witin one week age 3 years)...
I bought 8 of this 'Morse Code' tetra's just over 2 years ago. I now have 17 or 18 , of which only 5 are old, original ones. They are kept with 2 Apisito males (flabellicauda) in a 100x40x45 cm Eheim tank, full of floating plants and little light. pH 5-6 and conductivity about 40. The fry never...
Saw them in the shop last week. Very pretty fish. Regretted to leave the shop without some of them. But when one has no space left.... what can you do?

Good luck.
A visit to the shop is recommended, make it a tourist trip!

Grasping for air was meant as a matter of speech, but is inaccurate of course. Heavy breathing, as you call it, is equally worrisome I would say. Too much carbondioxide or too little oxygen?
Aeration can be tried.
Did you put a lot of dead wood and leaves at once in the tank?
