I lost my entire first batch over 8 months.. all 13. I added 10 more.. if these guys dont breed and stay stable , I give up on Cherries.

They're suppose to be easy to keep and breed.. and they are but I screwed up. I added mysterious wood that I think leeched some nasty tenins AND I took the advise of a cherry keeper and didnt to water changes , just topped off.

Back to my regular regimen . Weekly water changes and less ornaments.
