Sadly I came home to find my female angel had died. She was just fine and eating and swimming around the day before. Parameters are all in check 0 ammonia and nitrite, nitrate under 10 and ph of around 6.8. Didn't look like the male did it, body was in good shape. He did rough her a little from time to time but nothing serious. So really I have no idea what could have happened to her, pretty upsetting.
Now I'm left with a single male. They were a mated pair, but had only been together for around 2.5 months and had only one unsuccessful spawn. Is it likely that he will accept another? They were I'd say around 80% fully grown, not quite adults. I'm not prepared to find 5 more and wait for two to pair off. If I guess wrong and select a male to live with my current male am I looking at trouble?
Or would it best to rehome him and start over? I wasn't looking to get a pair but it was a nice bonus. If I end up with two of the same gender then I'm totally fine with that as long as they get along. I would just prefer to have two rather than a single. Thoughts and opinions appreciated.
