I have two rescue pea puffs- both female. Their tank is beautifully aged and has a wealth of infuriosa and micro organisms PERFECT for fry. One is young, no more than 1.5 years but she’s got an encapsulated piece of shell in her chin that has formed a cyst. She is otherwise vibrant and healthy. She just would suffer more than benefit from trying to extract the small bit, so I leave it be. #2 is older, and I can’t get her to put on much weight. She simply will only take blood worms, and those don’t help. She is darker in coloration and clearly is much more aged than the first.
Onto my question: would it be bad for my girls if I brought an adult male into the mix? I think the tank is perfect for breeding, but don’t know if my girls are too old or too damaged to even put them with a male who will chase and pester them? What you guys think?

Just make sure the lines if sight are broken in many places.
