Well the scrawny one dies yesterday 
I figured that was going to happen and I tried everything I could. The other one looks like he is doing great though! I hope he makes it so I am not 0 for 2.

Yes But I dont know where to find your info there is so many could you or anyone plz help me out tyvm
you need to make sure they are in a small enough space to get to their food. you need to feed them bloodworms 3 to 4 times a day so their bellys are always round. you need to make sure they are covered from site with lights low. you need to make sure there is enough water movement and surface agitation for good oxygenated water and you need to make sure the water is under 75 but even better around 70ish. oh yeah, they always need access to the surface because they are air breathers...dust2dust;4054800; said:
I think the surface agitation is why I am losing them I have some air stones but they dont seem to be crowding the surface like they where when i first got them
air stones are close to useless. you can actually watch them breath easier within minutes of agitating the surface...dust2dust;4054825; said:
I guess these ones wont make it far I will have to get some more and try other ideas and buy something to keep the surface stirred up
