Now want to clarify I started with a larger group of the Honduran red points I then had the alpha male appear to select his female and I think she’s female and want to make sure she has every quality but want to make sure I looked up online said females have a orange blotch on their side and hers is there it’s a little faint she’s more blue but I looked up and it appears her fins match a female more blunt and round but want to ask you guys to make sure that she is for sure female they seem to be doing great together which I would have to think would mean they are male and female then, because if they were the same sexes they would fight. Also the male was chasing every other one except the one that he chose in the pics below. Here are pictures. Their always appear to be swimming together or near each other too. -
This has developed very recently. I made a bonehead mistake with the water I bought and none of my efforts to lower the ph were successful. At all. She is active, eating, chasing the smaller male ram around. I lost her original mate during a week away in September. I don’t know if he had any lumps develop, but none when I left. I regard this pair as wet pets, and really feel like I let them down by not lowering the ph. Is this curable? What can I do? 10 gal tank has been set up about a year, had gravel substrate until 2 weeks ago when I covered it in 10 lbs of black sand. Temp 82 now, was at 85 over the summer. Plants include hornwort, bacopa, salvinia, Frogbit, duckweed. Almond leaves always present. There is wood in the tank. ph 7.9, nitrate 20-40, ammonia 0, KH 80-120, GH 300. Those are the consistent readings, I’ve been trying to lower the ph for approx 2 months. Water changes 10% twice per week for the past 4 weeks. Tankmates are Japan blue-gold guppies. All bred by me, and ‘culls’ from their main colony. There are also 2-3 Amano shrimp, and a mixture of snails.
