Good stuff, well done

One of the silvertips had died earlier today? as I checked on the fish. I found a decomposing body of a male floating in the tank, and I removed it immediately and did a water change right away. I feed the fish once a day, sometimes twice, and there weren't any deaths in the tank for a year until today.

Update: The silvertips are doing fine at the moment. I gave them some frozen bloodworms an hour ago and they seem to go to breeding-mode as the males begin to chase the females again. The tank glass does need a clean though.

Final day of 2025. The silvertips are fine but two females. One is possibly overweight and the other (the largest tetra in the group) might not be swimming well with her body facing a slight upwards angle (normal healthy tetras swim straight). I don't know if she has a swim bladder issue but hopefully not. The glass needs a clean however.

possibly overweight female

The other female (i do have a video of her swimming)

Happy new year everyone from me and the silvertips.
