Having now moved house, and gone through the processes of transporting three planted tanks, I will shortly be going through the process of condensing those three tanks down into a single 1500mm tank.
The large tank will be a soft water tank (KH <1), however one of the old tanks is/was my sons heavily planted low tech tap water tank with five male Endlers in.
So I am left with a dilemma with the Endlers which we have already looked after for two years.
I can either a) take them to a shop and they will likely spend their remaining days living in some horrible little tank with blue gravel and a bubbling skull or pirate ship, and likely dying from mistreatment, or b) gradually transition them over to the soft water tank to live out their final days (I read they only live for 2-3 years and they were fully grown when we bought them), despite the water hardness and pH being much less than is ideal for them. (Before anyone suggests it a separate tank for them isn't an option).
Thoughts on a postcard please . . .
