Hi there,
i have x 15 inch dats, one St and the other a wide bar.
usually the wide bar is more subdued, the ST is active as hell. eating lots too. i moved them to the new tanks 3 weeks ago or just a little over. in the tank is a 11 inch oscar and 1 tin foil barbs.
The oscar was with them in the other tank and i moved them together, The oscar doesnt attack, and visa versa.
what im finding is that the wide bar is scratching itself on the ground more often, though it has always done this once in awhile, but this time a little more to the point where wounds have come up, now healed and i put melafix in the tank.
it snot eating, and it sits at the top of the tank facing the outlet of the filter as if just sitting facing it.the ST is eating sometimes but not its usual self, also not very active. the oscar is eating and seems normal,the tinfoil also.
water parameters are fine, filter is MASSIVE so thats fine.
temp WAS 28 ish, google says should be 22 to 26 celcius so i put it down to 26 celcius.
1) is this just stress? and needs to re aclimatise to the new tank
2) Should i Lower the temp Or leave it or increase it. i actually turned the heater of, the garage is warm ish with my other tanks so the temp on this tank seems to have stayed at 26, ill see tommoow cos i turned it off today - maybe it will go lower.
3) whats happening here, anyone seen his before.
its as if they are acting like dats in the pet shop hiding but they are too big to hide, so thy cant, but they are shy and just not active.
help@!
