Neglected my tank due to new job and was having massive flatworm problem for quite sometime. Decide to do something about the flatworm problem thus I went to AM to geta bottle of FWE. This thing is really good if administer properly, now tank is completely flatworm free after 3 dosage.

These are some random shots of my tank taken 2 weeks back after the flatworm saga.

My flame will enter into their courtship mood first but their time is very short as the coutship will surely be interrupted by my jocs who will then go into their courtship next.

It just takes abit of patience actually. During shipment when all the helfrich are placed together, spent about abt 45mins to 1 hr to observe the fishes behavior. Usually the possible pair or the ones that are comfy with with each other will stick together and just grab those 2 and you will have a higher chance of getting 2 that is tolerant of each other. Its not a fool proof method because I have 2 that kill each other before but you just have a greater chance.
