Are these parasites?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
She ate a little today, actually even poo'd. Was brown and normal looking. However, she is acting very strange, almost as if she's having a hard time staying on the bottom. When she wants to stay on the bottom she does but then sometimes she will start to float cockeyed or her rear will float up. It's almost as if she were mentally challenged...displaying some very odd behavior that I have never seen before.
 
Yeah give it some time, if she started eating that's a good sign. My newest p14 didn't eat for 9 days after I got her and she was starved for 3 before that. I covered most of the tank to reduce stress and kept a constant supply of live blackworms and ghost shrimp. After about 15-20 days I took the cover off. She's fine now but I sure was a worried man for those first two weeks!
