  16. colouration is orange, blue and black swordtail or platy?

  18. don't just take out the top half of substrate as this is where your bacteria is mainly you may just expose a slightly more anaerobic layer may just be better on second thoughts to take it all out by syphoning then do water changes over next week or so keep an eye on your water parameters
  19. yes it would be worth it just to see if that is the problem i have always been a fan of substrate but run with none now if you have fauna that turn it over it is good but without, it can be an organic waste trap remember when you remove it you are changing the balance of bacteria in the tank preheat some new salt mix for water changes afterwards personally i would remove 1/2 the substrate then the other 1/2 a week later
