Thank you both for your advice. We're going to invest in a quarantine tank as suggested.
We got our tap water tested and it was pH 8 and phosphate 5! So we added a phorax phosphate remover to our filter and have started using RO(to help reduce phosphate and ph) and have done 2 x 10% water...

Hello all,
I have only recently discovered this forum whilst doing some internet searching to try and help our surviving apisto....I will put a post in the ID section and beginners section.
