Sorry it's been a rough week with the fish. I'm keeping all the nets apart and cleaning them after use. I noticed mr Johannii was shimmying for Mrs the other week, i don't know if maybe she's holding or smething, but it's a worry.
acei seems healthy, he''s swimming fine, not rubbing or scratching. I tried to get photos of the spot, but it doesn't come out in the shots.
