A little back story:
I had a male/female pair of 'Double Reds' in my tank for a while. One particular morning I decided I was going to dose some dry KNO3 to get the levels back up. Well, the male apisto found himself dashing in and out of the cloud of nutrients I just dropped in the water, and within about 5 minutes he was visibly shaken up. He began swimming sideways, upside down, you name it. Within 40 minutes he was dead...
So the remaining occupants: 7 neon tetras, a 'Tefe' female, and the 'Double Red' female. After the male passed, the peace between the two females seemed to be at an all time high. Both fish would swim together, hangout and do the likes. Until today...now, I did do an evaporation top off with arguably warmer water....and this is what I found:
Hmmm......
