Unfortunately,  I have some bad news on this pair.  At yesterday's final feeding they were doing fine.  However,  this morning I came down and found the female dead and the male not doing very well.  All of the other fish in the system are doing fine, so I am not sure yet what killed them.  I will have some ideas but I didn't have time to test before I left for work this morning
