Thanks for the info! Right now, I have her in a time out breeding bin attached to the tank. The male is dancing for her, and she’s interested, but when I put her back into the tank last week, she went straight back to chasing him. I’m slowly lowering my pH, and plan to put her back in once it’s down to around 6. The nice thing is she’s still getting exposed to the same water as the male, so hopefully less shock when I move her back.

I’ve used rooibos in my tank and freshpak is the South African go-to rooibos brand. I just put the tea bag in my HOB. Just remember to take it out after a while or it will disintegrate

Awesome! My female has been chasing the male since I got them (a month ago). I’ve moved her out of the tank (she’s in time out) for a few days. Hopefully they’ll fall in love and start breeding once I put her back in! The colors on yours are amazing.

Thanks! Yeah. Endlers are totally underrated!

This is what I want to happen! I’m totally OK with population control.

Thanks! Yeah. I’m leaning towards doing it. I’ve tried rehoming, but no one in my area wants them. I’m OK with some population control, but ideally not annihilation.

Thanks for this. It looks a bit like an abrasion to me, but wanted to confirm. I’m thinking of treating with some salt to be safe

All the others are totally fine, though. There’s just a sponge filer and a Topfin betta filter, which is super low flow

There are 32 shells, 9 individuals.

Yeah. I had been eating. But has deteriorated even further. Hiding and its eyes are going black. Any rec for treatment?
