Wild Apistogramma borellii

They don’t have the red/orange seam on the tails.
I also cannot successfully raise a batch of fry either, three batches and not one survivor yet!!
I’m not familiar with them at all actually, I just googled pictures and they look a bit different from my borellii....that’s about all I know about them
My water is hard and not really geared towards Apistogramma. The only reason I bought these guys was bc they sometimes do good in harder water....

So I tried leaving all fish together, got eaten
Tried leaving them with just the mom, got eaten
Tried moving some to another tank with just snails, all died somehow....
Well as of right now this will be my last post within this thread.
I’m about 95% sure I’ve lost my male.
Last week I added some new leaf litter to my tank and the following day all fish were near the top trying to get air, I changed 80% of the water and then 50% back to back, rinsed my filter, and waited...still gasping, I removed the leaves and changed another 80% followed by 50% of the water....all seems to be getting better
I add some cappatta leaves to the tank, fish finally returning to normal, except I haven’t seen the male in two days now, also no body inside or outside the tank.
The only question you might have is what causes the ruckus? I was going through my fish leaves and other things that were around this tank and noticed someone unplugged my oil air freshener and laid it on its side, all the oils ran out of the bulb and all over the leaves that I put in the tank prior to the problems :-(
I’m un-decided if I will sell the females or keep them.

Thank you, it does suck!Sorry for your loss, that blows.
I just wanted to raise one group of fry to see if they would be as beautiful as the male.
