Aquarium Advice FINatic
I really want to learn to keep these guys alive the first couple of days. i had one, jessica, die on me yesterday, and another one die today. please help!
tank size 20 high. tank mates bloodfin tetras, julii corys, amano shrimp, platys. params= 7 ph, 10 nitrates, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, i change the water 35% weekly, i acclimate regular fish, such as platys, bloodfins etc the bag in float method. for others i use drip acclimation. i buy them from a LFS. i thought they were pretty healthy, and they were there for 2 months, so i bought some. they died next day.
The only 100% way I've been able to sex them is by the black spot on their side, if it has blue flecks in it then it is female, if not then its male.
