    male is healthy, my main worry is the female and being skinny, but like some have mentioned might be her metabolism.

    yea just keep a close eye on them.Use garlic if you havent done that already. im not sure bout the stress-zyme. i guess its ok. ( i use a thing called Prime, if my ammonia and nitrates levels are high.) it works like a charm for me.

    garlic is being used. I also have prime but i use it for my puffer's tank since i just use tap water, and mix salt in his tank, but i'm starting to take better care of it, and starting to use ro/di sw and fw as i would eventually like to add some base rock in there and not have as much algae

    thanks, yea the lights have hardly been on this entire time. And i'm noticing when their lights are off, and when it's dark outside, and when my room is fairly dark except for one light, their so much more active than they are during the day, lol guess their a lot less stressed
