Do you see any of these symptoms?
White stringy feces? Bloated? Loss of appetite?
Hey MacZ
That would be 3x no. They all look, act, poop and eat normal.

Maybe add some salt to the water? That was an old school remedy for some wounds you weren't sure of...
Thanks.
Yeah! I thought of that too.

Do this in a separate tank if you have plants. Soft water plants and sodium (Na) really don't get on.
That’ll be the plan aswell.

Thank you so much all three. Now i can hopefully sleep like a baby again.
I’ll continue with water changes and decide if i should give them a salt bath.

A little over a week ago i recieved some females from a very kind man from sweden.
The female in both tanks have been guarding eggs, infact one of them is doing so right now. So now i can only hope they become more than just eggs.
Here’s a few crappy phone pictures of the two tanks.

I have just spotted 6-8 free swimming fry in one of my tanks.
I hope to be able to keep them alive. I’ll try hatch some artemia. Haven’t had the best of luck doing that.

Honestly, as vivid as the ecosystem in your tanks usually is, they will make it even without extra feeding. I'm confident in that.
Thanks a lot Sir. I really hope so.
They did look to be in fairly good shape.
