Got about 30 krib fry in a 125L tank of varying sizes, with mum only (Dad died 6 weeks ago). They are about 3 months old now. All has been really well until last 2 days when they have gone really skittish, freaking out every time I go near the tank. They also seem pale, sitting on the bottom of the tank. It has been suggested that they have protozean parasites and need to be treated. Any ideas?
 
Ok, have just tested the nitrates and ammonia. Amm - 0 but nitrates are very high at around 100ppm!! (bright red test result) so this could very well be a clear indication as to why they were being erratic and skittish. Have done a 70% water change and hoping it will help.
