I've had them in a tank with Endlers, and a can filter, so there should have
been enough O2. No luck, of course.

I tested for nitrates, looked OK.

I have even tested for copper! I am stumped.

I always worry about feeding them too much too... from what I have read in

Agreed. Next time, I am going to stuff them. It can't go worse.

Hmm, weather is getting warmer... Can these guys live in a tub outside, I
