I set up another breeding tank in hopes of getting some more fry. At first it seemed to be going well and they were both flaring at each other. I left them overnight and the female seemingly became uninterested. She was hiding and they seemed to be leaving each other alone so I decided to leave them in another night. Since they're still pretty new to breeding I thought perhaps they needed some more time.
Today still nothing, so I decided to separate them. I removed the male and put him back in his tank and just now got a good look at the female.
She is really banged up and missing a TON of her scales on her head and body. I feel so bad I let it get this far. I didn't notice anything that I thought was dangerous for her. She's swimming around and eating so I know she's okay but I still feel so bad. She looks like a mess!
I'm not sure how long I should wait before trying again or even if I should.
Any ideas? Should I keep her in the breeding tank for now? I've put a good amount of aquarium salt in there and am unsure if I should move her back to her own tank or not.
And update on the fry, they're doing really well! They're starting to chase each other around a lot so I may have to remove some a little sooner than I hoped
