Guys,
My new pair has been transfered to the grow out tank last nite. the tank has been cycle for a week with 1/2 aged water + old tank water + matureed medias for a week. ammonia + No2 =0, PH 7..

Male
- not very active - eating - breathing heavily

female
- scaling the tank wall like spiderman and look like to leap out of the water
- still eating..
- breathing heavily.

Done 20% WC this afternoon..but still not improving. worst case i need to move them back to their temp penthouse in the maintank..

any advice?:help2:
 
adding a bacteria booster wont hurt.... maybe a few dashes of salt to help with stress
 
Continue to do WCs. Is the tank well oxygenated enough?
 
i've move back to the main tank penthouse a.k.a floating cage....hopefully they will get better there.. while trying to figure out what is wrong with the outgrow tank... not sure if they are still not settle down..hmmm
it's already a week since i got them...
 
update? hope everything is ok now...
