My mum killed Amaro (she kills every fish she does a water change on.) and we got a male and female at the store along with a divider. They aren't moving like they did in the store. My male is now on his side in the bottom and the girl is just floating at the top. My mum just put the tank up today with Betta water conditioner and I could talk her out of adding the fish!! I don't know what to do! There is no filter, and a very thin layer of pea gravel.
Did you make sure you acclimated them before putting them in the tank?
Did you make sure to quarantine them for at least a week before placing them in the tank? These are very important steps with the fish.
you HAVE to acclimate but before you put two fish in the same tank you have to quarantine them for AT LEAST a week. That's probably whats wrong. And you need to make sure the temp is good.
when you clean the tank full changes, doyou use soap or bleach? cause thats not good. you should clean it really really well with just hot hot water, then leave it in the sun for a couple days so if their is a disease in the tank it will die.
Yeah. When we return them, They are getting the water in the cup changed little by little with tank water, and they'll be left in their cups for a week. I'm hoping to find some nice ones and breed sometime in the future. There is a ceramic princess castle on the female's side and a pirateship on the male's side. I need to trim the divider, though. It's too big and very hoppable on the female's side. All the females at Petsmart are really tiny. The one I had today was bigger. The only large one. I may go to Petco and look. After I get my money back, though.

I'd get one of the smaller ones, they're actually younger, which means they will live longer.. (granted your mom doesn't touch them..) and it's fun to watch them grow! Just my opinion
Yeah! All my girls were tiny when I got them And now they've grown up into big girls! I feel so proud watching my babies grow up <3
Dx Yeah, I vote for not letting your mom touch your fish anymore...
