How much of the water do you change? ^^
What do you use to treat your water? Prime
Do you vacuum the substrate or just the water? occasional vacuum
*Parameters - Very Important
Did you cycle your tank before adding fish? Yes
What do you use to test the water? Runbo strips

small prolapse, she already had 1 baby a while ago, I think she may have more and that is what caused it.
What do i do besides keep the water clean?
