Hugo, while at least one anti-aquarium group has implied that something has gone awry because I didn’t answer this question instantly, the fact is that like most real world people, I have simply been terribly busy. The parents are certainly still around, down in the basement. Bacterial issues have not come back following the move and the retreatment with Maracyn and Maracyn II, which is honestly suprising but a welcome turn of events. Still, I think I mentioend somewhere already that they contracted brooklynella in the basement..no clue really how as the tank was sterile and I don’t have brook knowingly runnign around here (haven’t brought in new fishes in ages). That said, that issue is under control, but it does have me wondering if there is some sort of depressed immune system in both fish (these problems are not isolated to the lightning).
Overall, things are improving. I’ve simply not had the time to drain and restart the dedicated tank upstairs, and I want to make sure they’re fully ready for the move before doing so. I’m torn, because they’re cleaning constantly downstairs, which suggests the possibility of an eminent spawn. Tough call. As always, I am NOT rushing to any change.

Micheal, regarding “kinked heads” – hard to say. Remember, we’re looking at 1″ fish…they still have a LOT of growing to do. Will save more for the next update.
