Poor you! Must have been awful to find her dead like that! I'd offer you mine as she's an absolute beauty, have managed to get her to take food from my hand a few times. I have a male & female and they've slowly been getting a bit aggressive with each other, some weeks it seems like they are being friendly to the point he'll cup his anal fin and I get excited and think they might breed but then nothing and they get nasty with each other for a few weeks. Have been thinking of splitting them for a while now but it was him I wanted to get rid of more as she's such a lovely thing. I've also been thinking maybe they are getting bored as they don't seem as active anymore and look bored IYSWIM I want the best for them both so maybe rehoming would be a good idea.
I know what you mean about covering the holes I'm always really worried about them getting out and dieing, it's gotten so bad I have to put heavy items on the lid as she can lift it! She takes a big swim and jumps at the lid she lifted it a good inch the other day and that was it I was putting bags of gravel on top to stop her. I'm surprised neither of them has really hurt themselves with the force they hit the lid.
