How big are they now?

tiny white worm? could it be due to overfeeding? or trapped food in gravel?

Thanks for sharing..they look great!!

Ya, those white worm thingy got to be the result of over feeding.

Most of them are now 35mm to 50mm TL.

ya, got to increase the frequency of water change. However, I will not introduce other fishes in there as I might bring in another set of problem .. such as disease.

Hi Ben, I took out the divider of the flooting box to create more space for the 2 cats to swim. To my surprise, they fight like bettas. Could you advice me whether they gets bad injuries due to fight?

Thanks

ya, had the same experience before.

They will get along when they were released into a much bigger space. no more fight even when they meet.
