Alkalinity? I'd say tank age is your major issue though. I was also in your same situation before. Tried early, failed, tried at 6 months, failed. Tried again at a year and they flourished.

the nem will likely die imo

If you have any way to treat the nem with antibiotics you could give that a shot but might be too late

no idea why it converted my emoji into that, but it was the facepalm emoji

agree with tank being too young to reliably support it. personally, i'd be offering it up free to someone else with a suitable tank to preserve its life and use the experience as a lesson to be more patient.
