How do I do a cold water change?
Usually I match the tank temperature
How cold?

If your tank temp is at 76F for example use water that's about 74F when you do your water change. I did this with new 1" cons I got from Petsmart and they spawned the same day I got em.

The female looks like she is ready to spawn. Her tube is down

The male is still too aggressive towards the female

What should i do?

Add dithers or a mirror to divert aggression

She is hiding in the clay pot cave i made for her. She is coming out once in a while. Her breeding tube is also down and she lost most of her breeding orange color
