State the setup
Include the tank context, parent group if known, and approximate observation period. Mention when the aquarium was a shared colony with uncertain parentage.
Provide water readings with units and test method only when you have them. Avoid filling gaps with assumed numbers.
Describe the outcome
Use counts only when your method supports them. Mark visual counts as estimates, especially when juveniles are hidden in plants.
Separate the number you observed from a percentage or survival claim. Missing animals may be hidden rather than dead.
Keep conclusions proportional
Say that a pattern happened in your colony rather than promising it will repeat for every keeper. One breeding event is limited evidence.
Link to the care references you used and invite careful comparison. Honest uncertainty makes a report more trustworthy.
